DIRECTIONS - Drive east on Highway 2 from Everett. About 3 miles past the Deception Falls Picnic Area, turn right onto a dirt road, over the railroad tracks, and into a big parking lot. Straight across the lot from the entrance is another dirt road heading into the woods. Park and walk up this road a short ways to find a boot path heading right into the woods. Follow this little trail for a few hundred feet to the base of this nice falls.

Scenic Creek drains Murphy Lakes and makes its way down to join the Tye River. Just before reaching that destination it drops over this pretty, two-tiered waterfall. The falls can be a little difficult to photograph because the top of the falls is always a lot brighter than the rest.
