Sitting Bull Falls, Natural waterfall in Lincoln National Forest, New Mexico

Sitting Bull Falls is a waterfall in a canyon in Lincoln National Forest southwest of Carlsbad, New Mexico. Spring water flows through streams and pools above the canyon, then drops 150 feet over a brown and tan rock face in a wide veil of thin streams and threads, breaking into spray before continuing as a narrower cascade to the bottom.

In 1940 the Civilian Conservation Corps built stone buildings that now form part of the parking and picnic area. A time capsule placed in front of one of them was dedicated on March 24, 1999, to be opened on the 100th anniversary of the Corps' work here. The day-use area closed from April 27, 2011, to April 6, 2012, after a wildfire damaged several shelters, which were repaired; traces of the fire remain visible.

The Apache people called this location gostahanagunti, meaning hidden gulch in their language. The name reflects how the place remained concealed from most visitors for generations.

A paved path connects the picnic area to the base of the falls, where wading and swimming are allowed. Trails above lead to the springs feeding the falls. Caves in the area can be entered only with special permits. The day-use area is maintained by the Forest Service.

The water originates from springs above the falls but then disappears into the rocks. It reappears as part of the underground water system of Pecos Valley, continuing its journey beneath the surface.
