Phantom Falls is the highest waterfall in the South Hills. The aptly-named Fall Creek plunges 65 feet to the stream below creating Phantom Falls. Getting to Phantom Falls is half the fun: Take a pedestrian-only U.S. Forest Service trail 1.5 miles until you hit the water.
Visit the falls in early spring and you may find a gorgeous, naturally occurring ice sculpture created by the frozen waterfall. Phantom Falls is about 20 miles southwest of Oakley, and the trailhead to the falls is marked by a sign.
