Hike Less Than A Mile To This Spectacular Waterfall In Northern California
A little more than a half mile off of the Gold Lake Highway, you’ll find this spectacular Northern California waterfall. Fern Falls is 35 feet tall and surrounded by gorgeous Sierra pine trees.

This Fern Falls is located in Graeagle in Plumas National Forest. It is the lesser-known of the two falls.

This waterfall isn’t as tall as some of the others in the area, but it is stunning nonetheless. The best time to visit is April through October.

A short bridge has also been out of commission since July 2021, but that hasn’t stopped hikers from going around to see the falls anyway.

Even if you’re making a quick stop on the way to somewhere else, try to take some time to enjoy the views and maybe snap some photos. Go ahead and bring your dog, but keep them on a leash, per park rules.

The trail is still open in the winter, but it can be difficult to see where the trail is located. Still, plenty of people enjoy getting out there in the cold weather to see the waterfall flow.

However, frequent hikers have noted that the falls are occasionally dry while Fern Falls is usually running.
