Cedar Falls
Cedar Falls
Sierra County, California
Description
Location
Cedar Falls is a very nice waterfall just east of Downieville in the North Yuba River Canyon. It is particularly interesting since it flows off a large rock face and around many cedars (hence its name) just north of CA-49. Because of this character, I would expect that its flow is drastically reduced during most of the year (I visited it during a heavy rainstorm).
Cedar Falls: 39.5608 N, 120.8093 W
USGS Topo: Downieville
Directions
From the CA-49 bridge in Downieville, follow CA-49 east for ~1.2 miles. This waterfall is off the north side of the highway with parking available off the south side.
