About Beaver Falls
Beaver Falls is a tiered in Arizona, on Havasu Creek. The water falls in 4 distinct tiers.
Fed largely by snowmelt, it runs hardest in late spring and early summer and can thin to a trickle by late season.
Plungeworthy rates Beaver Falls 5.2/10 — if you're passing. The score weighs its scale, how confidently it's mapped, and its character.
What you'll find
The last and least-visited of Havasu Creek's cascades: tiered turquoise terraces stepping toward the Colorado, three creek fords and a ladder climb below the campground. The reward for going past where most permits stop.
Getting there
- Trailhead
- Continuation of the canyon trail past Mooney Falls (no separate access)
- Parking
- None — day trip from the Havasupai Campground
- Hike
- 6 mi round trip (hard)
- Heads up
- Three wades, wobbly bridges, and an exposed ladder on slick travertine. Start early; the canyon narrows amplify flood risk.

Before you go
The pin marks the feature, not a trailhead or a legal route in. Some sit on private land or need a real hike, and conditions change with season and rain. Check local access, don't trespass, and never enter water — hot or cold — where it isn't safe.
