Burnthouse Branch Falls is on a major tributary of Upper Creek, flowing in just above Raven Cliff Falls. A tenth of a mile upstream of the confluence, Burtnhouse Branch Falls drops about 45 feet through multiple channels. The primary flow is on river left but if the water is up, there will also be channels on river right. I prefer this waterfall to Raven Cliff Falls. To learn how to get here, see Raven Cliff Falls.
