Cedar Creek Falls


Cedar Creek Falls is an easy trail that is about six miles round-trip and can be accessed from Ramona to the west or Eagle Peak Road from the east (this entrance requires a vehicle with some ground clearance). The starting elevation from Thornbrush Rd in Ramona is 1830ft with the bottom of the falls at 915ft. I went with a small group of friends on a mild winter day which grew more crowded as the day wore on. A permit is required from the US Forest Service with each permit covering up to five people for $10. Alcohol and diving from the cliffs are prohibited. When we started at about 0830 there were no park rangers present but there was someone at the trailhead when we came back at about 1100. The water was nice and cold when I jumped in. Enjoy!

The trip back up is a mild slope.
