From where it exits the Upper Lemah Valley to where it crosses, the PTC, Lemah Creek is essentially one long series of cascades. The falls have been split into two sections because of a short, but noticeable flat step between the two falls.

Middle Lemah Creek Falls consists of three tiers, a gorgeous 56' tall fan-shaped drop (left) that is accented nicely by a small group of evergreens that partially block the view. It actually kind of adds to the scene though. Below this, the creek continues to tumble over two more drops of around 25' in height each.
