Castle Creek Waterfall
 This is one of the tallest waterfalls in
the Bradshaws. At 125 feet it’s a
spectacular fall. It is located at the
edge of the Castle Creek Wilderness on
the east side of the Bradshaws. It’s a
remote location and I have never
encountered anyone at the falls and
there is very little sign of human
disturbance.
After snowmelt and summer rains it flows
strong. The rest of the year it’s a
trickle. So plan your visit accordingly.
Water plants bloom at the falls.
Mountain lions, skunks, rattlesnakes and
lizards are in the area. This is also a
good location to see deer traveling in
and out of the falls.
I’ve tried different ways to drop into
Castle Creek Canyon. The best route for
first timers is park at the location on
the Google map. Drop into the creek and
hike up to the falls. One can climb to
the very base of the falls but it’s
slippery and steep.
Update
As of fall of 2011 the Castle Creek Road
leading to the falls has washed away and
is safely passable by horse, 50 inch
ATVs, motorcycle and foot. UTVs and
autos cannot safely navigate this washed
out area until repaired.
