About The Cascades
The Cascades is a 500-foot tiered plunge in California, on Cascade Creek. The water falls in 5 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 The Cascades 9.5/10 — drop everything. The score weighs its scale, how confidently it's mapped, and its character.
Where it is

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.
