Federal Falls is a charming waterfall on Cataract Creek with a curtain-like flow and nestled within a narrow canyon lush with ferns. A short side trail leads to its base, where the water cascades over a low ledge into a sandy area bordered by rocks beside the creek. The surrounding overhangs and the intimate setting create a peaceful, secluded atmosphere, providing a nice contrast to the more open sections of the trail.
