DIRECTIONS - Drive east along Highway 20 through the town of Marblemount. About 4 miles least of town, you should see the falls across the valley. If you get to the bridge over Diablo Lake, you missed it somehow.

This very tall series of drops that takes place on the stream that drains Bouck Lake. Various parts of the waterfall can be seen from the car as you drive along Highway 20. The entire series of waterfalls is at least 1000' in height and may be closer to 2000'. While the stream is fairly small, it does run year round.

I know of one group of canyoners who crossed the lake in a raft, climbed part of the way up the side of the creek and then rappelled down the creek. That sounds like a lot of work to me.
