At 377 ft, Nugget Falls ranks among the tallest waterfalls in the United States — a tiered waterfall in Alaska.
Nugget Falls sits on Nugget Creek. It lies in Juneau, Alaska. The site is on public land managed by U.S. Forest Service (Tongass National Forest).
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 2 miles round trip. The nearest town is Juneau.
When to go: Late spring through early fall. Like most waterfalls, Nugget 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.
