Potem Falls drops 70 ft (21 m) as a plunge waterfall in California.
Its water comes from Potem Creek. You'll find it in Shasta County, California. It is protected within Shasta-Trinity 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 0.6 miles round trip. Base a visit out of Montgomery Creek, the closest town.
When to go: spring to summer. Like most waterfalls, Potem 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.
