South Creek Falls
South Creek Falls is an attractive roadside waterfall on Road 99 (Sierra Way) a short distance west of the bridge over the famed Kern River. The falls are easy to notice as you head west from the Kern River Bridge and work your way up the mountain. However, going the other way, you'll have to look over your shoulder from the road. A better way to experience the falls is to find parking at the limited car park at the top of the falls. You can't see the waterfall from up here, but you can walk along the road (just make sure you're not in the way of traffic) and along the canyon rim until you get good views of the falls. I haven't tried going down to the bottom of the falls, nor would I want to. The slopes are deceptively steep as the loose rocks would attest. If you choose to risk it by going down, you're on your own to make it back up (if you can).
