Volcano Falls is a waterfall in Tulare 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.
Volcano Falls sits in Tulare County, California. The base sits at roughly 7,045 feet of elevation. Drive time is about 25 minutes from Sequoia Crest. A trail — Golden Trout Creek Trail — runs within 200 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.
