LAKES, RIVER & FALLS

Five Springs Falls
Five Springs Falls Recreation Site, along Hwy 14A about 25 miles east of Lovell, provides unique vertical cliff habitat that is kept moist by the spray from a 100 foot waterfall. The granite walls surrounding the falls provide a home for four rare and sensitive plant species. View the waterfall by walking a quarter-mile trail upstream from the BLM campground. The campground offers a pleasant setting for a picnic while viewing the falls.

Shell Falls
Shell Creek tumbles down steeply pitched granite and then is soothed and gentled downstream into a quietly running creek. An interpretive center for visitors is located at the Shell Falls Overlook. Adequate parking facilities make it easy to safely pull off the mountain highway.
