1986: Bear Creek (?) waterfalls near Prineville..?

Post by Splintercat » April 2nd, 2011, 9:46 am

Anyone familiar with the Bear Creek area between Prineville and US 26 near Millican? I think this little falls is located on that creek, where the road travels between US 26 and Prineville Reservoir:

Not exactly a postcard picture, but I'm hoping to positively ID this for my archives. Didn't see anything on Bryan's site, but it might not meet his threshold in height (which I believe is 15 feet).

I wasn't even aware of it Tom. Looks like this is probably it here though:

Yes, I think that's probably the spot, Bryan -- definitely along that road, and I'm pretty sure it's on the main steam of Bear Creek.
