Susan Creek Falls is a free, easy 1.4-mile walk to a 50-foot waterfall managed by the Bureau of Land Management. The trail features a well-graded surface. The area was impacted by the 2020 Archie Creek Fire and remains open, though not fully restored.
This outing offers easy access and a forest experience with visible fire recovery. The free access and moderate trail length suit visitors seeking a straightforward waterfall walk. Fire recovery effects mean the landscape will differ from pre-fire photos.
