Tips from the Community

Alex
December 4, 2024, Stevenson Creek Falls

Stevenson Creek, now part of a hydroelectric project at Shaver Lake, no longer flows as consistently as it once did. Stevenson Creek Falls is an amazing waterfall, with a total drop of around 1,200 feet across four major leaps of 380, 260, 250, and 180 feet, interspersed with smaller cascades. While the falls run dry in summer due to stream regulation, spring brings in water flow, creating roaring falls dropping into the San Joaquin River canyon.
