Buck Creek contains a series of four waterfalls in one short section of canyon a little ways upstream from the Mountain Loop Highway.

Lower Buck Creek Falls is the third of the four falls and (much like the two above it) drops in a perfect fan shape into a beautiful pool. The creek continues to cascade immediately as it exits the pool and proceeds straight into the Stag Cascades. Realistically, this entire stretch of creek could probably be considered one long, multi-tiered waterfall, but I felt there were three distinct drops in the upper section that made it easy to separate.
