While camping at Lake Siskiyou we decided to take the three-mile drive to hike the Faery falls
After parking in a large clearing on the left, you will take the road farthest on the right and make your way up Ney Springs Canyon. You will see this sign. Originally a wagon trail, the path is wide and level.
About 0.5 miles into the trail, you will see a rusted piece of machinery on the right. Just past this is the moss-covered stone retaining wall of the Ney Springs ruins. It features a spigot that still runs during the wet season.
On the other side of the main trail, a narrow path drops down to the creek. Here you will find a platform featuring another retaining wall and a reservoir that still bubbles and smells of Sulphur.
Back on the main trail, the path gains elevation as you climb higher into the canyon. After 0.6 miles, a second narrow trail on the left provides easy creek access. This is a great spot to cool off and take photos. Once you’re back on the main trail, you will walk about ten minutes until you reach a third narrow trail on your left towards the creek. The 50-foot cascades of Faery Falls are just a few steps away.
