Stair Falls, also known as Staircase Falls, is located on Putnam Creek along with a series of other falls. This charming series of falls cascades over stair-like steps, which is how it got it's name. While you're on the lookout for the falls, keep an eye out for private and posted signs in this area. 

Hiking to Stair Falls

This is actually more of a walk. A bit downstream from the stop sign on this road, you can see the falls down the embankment. It's a small scramble, but there is a trail, and you can get closer to the edge of the water for a better view.

After enjoying this spot, walk back to the corner, and go to the bridge. Upstream about another 150 feet is another small falls. Property surrounding this is private, so view from the bridge.
