Location
This small waterfall was found while exploring Spanish Creek near Oakland Camp, northeast of Quincy, CA. It isn't anything to go out of your way to see, but walking along Spanish Creek is nice and there are some decent cascades further downstream (need to be on the other side of the creek, though).
Gilson Creek Falls: 39.9928 N, 120.9192 W
USGS Topo: Quincy
Directions
From CA-70/89 turn right onto Barlow Road (~3.3 miles north of Main St, Quincy) and after ~0.1 miles turn right onto Chandler Road. Follow this for ~1.7 miles to where the road turns sharply to the right. Continue straight on Oakland Camp Road for ~2.8 miles (staying right at the Camp one-way). Here Gilson Creek crosses over the road and when I was here it was flooding the road so I parked a little ways before it. The section of the waterfall immediately above the road is made up of many small cascades with the bigger fall shown in my photo a little further upstream.
