Sweeney Falls

This modest waterfall along Souther Creek doesn't appear to have an official name of any sort. The locals know it as The Falls at Sweeney's Corner, and a couple books have adapted that name into Sweeney Falls for the road across the street. The lack of a name stems from the lack of visibility from Highway 14. While the falls are visible to the keen sighted when the surrounding trees are bare, cliffs on either side of the creek block in views until it's too late to stop - that is unless you know where to stop. The falls consist of a 67 foot sliding horsetail which veils out at its base. When the creek is running high, two rather notable roostertails occur halfway up the falls - the uppermost being the more prominent. Near the base is of the waterfall is an abandoned mine adit. As of 2020 this waterfall has apparently been posted by the landowner and is no longer open to public access. You can still enjoy the partial view of the falls from the road, but please respect the landowner's rights and do no hike closer to the waterfall.
