Henry Falls

A small waterfall and quick photo stop on a Fish Camp forest road.

About

Henry Falls is a small waterfall tucked along a forest road near Fish Camp, the kind of spot you catch on the way to somewhere else rather than a destination you drive out just to see. Visitors who've stopped here consistently rate it highly, but they're just as consistent that this is a quick stop, not a full outing.

Getting There

The approach includes a low concrete crossing over the streambed. Reviewers note the crossing can look intimidating when water flow is up, since the concrete slab has settled unevenly over the years, and more than one visitor recommends four-wheel drive for traction on the concrete when it's wet and slippery.

What to Expect

Henry Falls is modest in scale. Reviewers describe it as a nice stop if you're already driving the loop through the surrounding forest, and a reliable spot for a quick photo. It isn't set up as a standalone attraction - go in expecting a small cascade and a scenic pull-off rather than a big waterfall experience.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need four-wheel drive to reach Henry Falls?

Visitor accounts vary. One reached it without 4WD despite the crossing looking intimidating, while another calls four-wheel drive "a must" for traction on the concrete crossing when it's wet or slippery. If you're unsure of your vehicle's clearance, treat 4WD as the safer bet.

Is Henry Falls worth a special trip on its own?

Not really, based on visitor feedback. It's described as a nice stop if you're already driving through the surrounding forest, not a waterfall worth seeking out as a stand-alone destination.

Cool! I don't think you need 4wd but it might look a little intimidating with a lot of water flow or because the concrete slab looks like it's sunk a bit. Not epic enough to be a destination in and of itself, but if you're driving the loop through the forest or just enjoying the area it's a nice stop.

I love driving here. Small fall but it reminds me of my grandma. Took her here before she passed. 4wd is a must as it can be pretty slippery going over the concrete covert.
