Salmon Creek Falls is a 120 foot (36 meter) waterfall near Gorda in Los Padres National Forest, Monterey County, California, USA. The falls are just 0.3 miles from CA-1, and this is a very popular hike.
The falls are on the boundary to the Silver Peak Wilderness, and the Salmon Creek Trail is a poular access point to the wilderness area.
