Dutch Creek Falls
PHOTO
14 miles from G.T.
mod. 4 mi. R.T.
Awesome waterfalls celebrate the marriage of Dutch Creek and Johntown
Creek. The American River Conservancy recently acquired this land, so
these twin 30’ falls are now accessible to the public. These are some of the best waterfalls around, not too
hard to find.
Directions:
Drive to the Gold Discovery Park in Coloma on Hwy 49. There is no
parking near the trailhead, so you need to park in one of the Gold
Discovery Park parking lots. Pay the $5 per car parking fee at the Park
HQ bldg and place the receipt in your car windshield. Walk across the
one lane South Fork American River bridge. Pass the campground and take
the first right turn onto Bayne Road. The trailhead is directly across
from the dark brown house at 6060 Bayne Rd. There is a large white sign
at the trailhead that says, “Mt Murphy Phase II Acquisition”. Climb over
the padlocked green double gate in front of the large white sign.
