Sturtevant Falls is a plunge waterfall in California with a documented drop of 50 ft (15 m).
Sturtevant Falls sits on Big Santa Anita Creek. It lies in Los Angeles County, California. The site is on public land managed by Angeles National Forest (USFS).
This is a moderate hike waterfall: a longer day hike, roughly one to several miles each way. The walk to the main viewpoint runs about 3.3 miles round trip. The nearest town is Arcadia.
When to go: winter to spring. Like most waterfalls, Sturtevant 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.
