Beaver Creek Falls is the uppermost waterfall in the Sweet Creek Falls trail complex. The falls occur at the confluence of Beaver and Sweet Creeks. Beaver Creek veils over a 20 foot ledge, while Sweet Creek Cascades about 15 feet, the two streams intermingling half way down, becoming essentially one intertwined waterfall. Though it is a more meagerly sized waterfall, it is one of the larger waterfalls in the Sweet Creek Falls complex, and is definitely one of the most scenic.
