Old Spur Falls

By some arguments all the waterfalls of Black Creek could conceivably be lumped together and considered one continuous series of falls and cascades. Because there is enough flat water to separate a few of the various falls, and because accessing some is easier than others, we felt it necessary to break them up a bit. Old Spur Falls is the easiest waterfall along Black Creek to access. This waterfall occurs only about 100 feet upstream from the top of Rachor Falls itself, but because the stream is fairly level and separated in visibility from Rachor, it seemed logical to split the two apart. The falls consist of two main drops, 52 feet and 44 feet respectively. While the lower tier is easily visible from the end of the old road, the upper tier is only easily visible through the gap in the trees immediately above the lower falls and one must scramble upstream in order to see it clearly.This waterfall has no historic name, so we have suggested the name Old Spur Falls after its relation to the decommissioned road. This waterfall has been previously referred to as Deep Canyon Falls, but after a group of us ventured into Black Creek Canyon, we determined that name didn't quite fit this particular fall.
