| This area has three observation decks and THREE creeks. The Davis Creek and the Dodd Creek form Dukes Creek. Dukes Creek Falls drops about 200 feet, and is rated 7 on a scale of 1 to 10. Although the two RV Gypsies would have rated it even higher. No photos were taken from Observation Deck #1 because the view was not that great. | |

| While walking between observation decks 2 and 3, the below photo is an attempt to view the falls that were previously shown from observation deck #2. Unfortunately too many trees block getting a great view from this angle. | |
