McCauley Falls is a 75-foot waterfall on Hanstead Creek in King County, Washington, roughly 2.2 miles northeast of Duvall and 10 miles northeast of Redmond.
The falls
Hanstead Creek forms a single horsetail here. A lidar survey puts the total height at 75 feet in one drop; the same one-meter lidar pass found no other waterfall on the creek.
Getting there
The only public vantage is the shoulder of State Route 203. Reaching the base means crossing onto private property, which requires the owner's permission, and the site itself is marked posted and closed.
When to go
The creek runs for about five months of the year, and winter brings both the best flow and, once the vegetation is bare, the clearest partial view from the road shoulder.
History and name
McCauley Falls is the official name. World Waterfall Database treats Dry Falls as a presumed alternate name for the same waterfall.
