Directions

From CA-20 turn north onto Washington Road (~13.8 miles west of I-80) and follow it for ~5.9 miles through the town of Washington. Then, just before the road crosses over the South Yuba River it turns into Maybert Road. Follow the Maybert Road for ~5.4 miles (can be rough in some places, 4x4 recommended) to near the remains of Jolly Boys Mine off the south side of the road. Park here (last place to easily turn around) and walk the road to its end (~0.4 miles). Then turn left and walk up the exposed rock face up to the trail (turn right). Follow the trail for ~0.5 miles until it runs into Fall Creek. Lower Fall Creek Falls can be seen from the viewpoint for Killer Fang Falls.
