Kings Creek Falls sits on Kings Creek. You'll find it in Shasta, California. It is protected within National Park Service.
This is a moderate hike waterfall: a longer day hike, roughly one to several miles each way. Plan for a moderate hike; sturdy shoes, water, and a little time on the trail are worth bringing. The walk to the main viewpoint runs about 2.3 miles round trip. Base a visit out of Mineral, the closest town.
When to go: June to October. Like most waterfalls, Kings 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.
