Boulder Creek Falls is an interesting roadside waterfall that we missed the first time around when headed towards Ponderosa from Porterville (maybe because we were driving in the dark).
However, on a follow-up trip three years later, my parents noticed it as we made the drive in broad daylight. So seeing this waterfall is pretty straightforward. It cascades besides the road before going underneath it as the falls continues its descent into the steep canyon below, eventually joining the Middle Fork Tule River.
Directions: The falls is right off Hwy 190 between Springville and Ponderosa. You can pull over at one of the shoulders nearby the falls so you can view the falls without blocking traffic. Just be sure to stay clear of the road as vehicles can travel quite fast on this highway even with the blind mountain turns.
