Fish Creek Falls is a tall plunge waterfall in Colorado, dropping 283 ft (86 m).

The falls are fed by Fish Creek. You'll find it in Routt, Colorado. It is protected within Routt National Forest (USFS).

This is a short hike waterfall: reached by a short trail, generally under about a mile each way. The walk to the main viewpoint runs about 0.5 miles round trip. Base a visit out of Steamboat Springs, the closest town.

When to go: Spring snowmelt (May-Jun). Like most waterfalls, Fish Creek 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.
