A small CCC-built tiered waterfall on Boykin Creek in the Angelina National Forest, beside a 9-acre spring-fed lake. It is reached via the Sawmill Hiking Trail, which continues to the Neches River and the ruins of the historic Aldridge Sawmill.
Boykin Springs Falls sits on Boykin Creek. You'll find it in Jasper County, Texas. It is protected within Angelina National Forest (U.S. Forest Service).
This is a short hike waterfall: reached by a short trail, generally under about a mile each way. A short walk gets you to the viewpoint, so it works for most casual visitors and families. The walk to the main viewpoint runs about 4.8 miles round trip. Base a visit out of Zavalla, the closest town.
When to go: Spring (high water). Like most waterfalls, Boykin Springs Falls runs highest after snowmelt or heavy rain and can thin out in late summer, so it's worth checking recent streamflow and the land manager's conditions page before a long drive.
