Spahats Creek Falls

Highlight • Waterfall

Spahats Creek flows west from the Trophy Mountains, crossing the area's basalt formation. Upstream of Spahats Creek Falls, the creek has carved itself into a 23-meter-deep gorge and then plunges over the waterfall 61 meters into a massive canyon, emptying into the Clearwater River a few hundred meters later.
The canyon is the result of glacial meltwater that flowed over the edge of the Clearwater Valley about 11,000 years ago. After the Ice Age, the stream receded into the comparatively small Spahats Creek.
Spahats Creek was once known as Bear Creek. Spahats is a native word for bear.
