Sturtevant Falls is a waterfall in Los Angeles County, California. Height has not been officially recorded. Access details and conditions have not yet been verified in person by Fallspots — the data on this page comes from OpenStreetMap and USGS GNIS.
Sturtevant Falls sits in Los Angeles County, California. The base sits at roughly 2,286 feet of elevation. Drive time is about 5 minutes from Sierra Madre. A trail — Sturtevant Falls Trail — runs within 10 meters of the marked location. 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 and USGS GNIS.
