Salmon Creek Falls is reported as an approximately 100-foot plunge into a forest pool near Juneau, reached by the moderate Salmon Creek Trail of about 3 miles that follows an old tramline toward a historic 1914 hydroelectric dam. The trail passes through berry-rich forest above the creek.
At 100 ft, it stands above roughly 74% of the 775 documented falls in this guide.
The falls are fed by Salmon Creek. You'll find it in Juneau Borough, Alaska. It is protected within Tongass National Forest (USFS).
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 3 miles round trip. Base a visit out of Juneau, the closest town.
When to go: summer. Expect the strongest flow in spring and after big storms, with a quieter trickle by late summer; confirm current conditions with the land manager before committing to the drive.
