DIRECTIONS - From Sultan, head north on Sultan River Road to Spada Lake. Take the right hand fork at Olney Pass and head towards the Greider Lakes Trailhead. Just before the trailhead, you will see a barricaded road heading uphill to the right. Park and follow this water barred road for about 1/2 a mile to where the falls drop next to the road.

McCarty Falls drops about 80' in three tiers. Only the lowermost tier right next to the road can be seen easily. The uppermost tier drops about 40' in a 15' wide curtain of water. Below this, the creek cascades another 20' before dropping over the 15' tall tier right next to the road. The upper tier is extremely difficult to get a clear view of. I'd recommend just taking a look at the bottom tier as you walk by.
