Beatson Falls is in California. The base sits at roughly 895 feet of elevation. Drive time is about 7 minutes from Cherokee. OpenStreetMap shows a trail within 90 meters of the marked location, though the name isn't recorded. No public parking is recorded within 2 km, so a longer approach is likely. It draws modest visitor attention — busier weekends, quiet weekdays. Source records come from OpenStreetMap.
