Location

This is a nice and easily accessible waterfall in the North Yuba River Canyon west of Downieville. I visited this waterfall during a heavy rainstorm, so expect it to look vastly different during most times of the year. The flume extracting water from the creek at the top of the waterfall adds a little bit of visual interest.

Directions

Turn north onto the Brandy City Road/Cal-Ida Mill Road (~11.5 miles west of the CA-49 bridge in Downieville) and follow it for ~0.5 miles to the bridge over Fiddle Creek. This waterfall is immediately upstream and easily viewed from the bridge.
