Directions

The first of these waterfalls (all off the northern side of the highway) can be seen ~10.1 miles west of the CA-49 bridge in Downieville. The last can be seen ~2.0 miles northeast of the first along CA-49. The other four are scattered between these.

Fiddle Creek Ridge Falls is a collection of six separate waterfalls I visited during a heavy rainstorm. They are spread over a distance of ~2 miles off the northern side of CA-49 in the North Yuba River Canyon. I would expect that during most of the year that these do not flow very much.
