   Yakima County, Washington

[ Physical Makeup ]  [ Pictures ]  [ Maps ]  [ Update History ]

This appears to be a significant series of falls along Rusk Creek which drop at least 150 feet - likely more - just upstream of where Rusk Creek joins Big Muddy Creek. The falls lie within the Yakima Indian Reservation and access to the area requires a permit from the tribe. No trails pass near the falls.
