Whiskeytown Falls, Multi-tiered waterfall in Whiskeytown National Recreation Area, California.

Whiskeytown Falls is a three-tiered waterfall in Whiskeytown National Recreation Area, northern California, with a total drop of 220 feet (67 meters). It lies in a mixed conifer forest, and the water falls over smooth rock faces. The Danish Wikipedia gives the height as 120 meters, but the English source and the park's figure is 220 feet.

Whiskeytown Falls was long mischarted and remained largely unknown to the public. In spring 2003, wildlife biologist Russ Weatherbee spotted a 120-metre drop on an online global imaging map and thought it looked like white water. The falls were officially rediscovered in 2005, and trails were later built to reach them.

The falls were rediscovered in 2005 by wildlife biologist Russ Weatherbee, who found an old map in a cabinet and later spotted white water on a computer mapping system. Trails now lead visitors to the site.

Trails now lead to the falls, built after the site was rediscovered in 2005. The route climbs through forest to the base of the three tiers, and the ground stays damp, so wear hiking shoes with grip and carry water.

Wildlife biologist Russ Weatherbee found an old map naming the falls while clearing out a cabinet, but the map was wrong and he could not locate them. In spring 2003, scanning global imaging maps on his computer, he spotted a stream dropping about 120 metres and thought it looked like white water.
