Workman Creek Falls drops roughly 170-200 feet over an oval cliff into a gorge in the Sierra Ancha Wilderness of Tonto National Forest. It is reached via a short walk from Forest Road 487, a rough unpaved high-clearance road about 2.5 miles in.
At 200 ft, it stands above roughly 88% of the 775 documented falls in this guide.
Its water comes from Workman Creek. You'll find it in Gila, Arizona. It is protected within Tonto National Forest (USFS).
This is a roadside waterfall: visible from a road, parking area, or a walk of a few hundred feet. Because it sits right off the road, it makes an easy stop on a longer trip and works for visitors with limited time or mobility. The walk to the main viewpoint runs about 0.2 miles round trip. Base a visit out of Young, the closest town.
When to go: Spring (snowmelt) and after summer monsoon rains. 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.
