Lemoray Creek Falls are located after an approximately 2 1/2 hour hike (a fairly easy hike up a creek bed). I did this hike in late August. At the rail bridge, it’s just a dried up creek bed with no sign of water. After about a half hour hike you start to see some water and the about 2 hours later you come to these beautiful falls. A hike well worth it.
