About This Waterfall
Lily Creek produces a rather tall waterfall where it streams into the Carbon River Gorge just outside the town of Carbonado. Access to the bottom of the gorge however appears tenuous at best. An old railroad grade ran along the bottom of the gorge at one time, and should a viable public access point prove to still be accessible, it might serve as a means to see this waterfall. A road does descend into the canyon directly across from the falls, however it's located entirely within the property of a residence and is not accessible to the public.
