    Falls Creek is a borough located in Jefferson and Clearfield counties in Pennsylvania in the United States. The population was 1,037 at the 2010 census. Of this, 989 were in Jefferson County, and only 48 were in Clearfield County.

    History

    Falls Creek was platted in 1891, and incorporated in 1900. The borough is named for the nearby waterway of the same name.

    Geography

    Falls Creek is located in eastern Jefferson County at 41°8′37″N 78°48′12″W / 41.14361°N 78.80333°W / 41.14361; -78.80333 (41.143688, -78.803252); a small portion extends east into Clearfield County. Most of the borough is located between Falls Creek to the north and Sandy Lick Creek to the south, into which Falls Creek flows. The creeks are part of the Redbank Creek watershed, draining west to the Allegheny River.

    Interstate 80 and U.S. Route 219 intersect just northeast of the borough limits. I-80 leads east 24 miles (39 km) to Clearfield and west 18 miles (29 km) to Brookville, while US-219 leads southeast 3 miles (5 km) into DuBois and north 9 miles (14 km) to Brockway. Pennsylvania Route 830 passes through the center of Falls Creek as Main Street and Washington Avenue, while Pennsylvania Route 950 heads out of the center of town as 3rd Street, leading 7 miles (11 km) southwest to Reynoldsville.

    Falls Creek (California)

    Falls Creek, also known as the Falls River, is a tributary of the Tuolumne River in Yosemite National Park, California, United States. The creek begins at the northern boundary of the national park and flows 24 miles (39 km) to empty into the Tuolumne at Hetch Hetchy Reservoir, dropping over two well-known waterfalls. The Pacific Crest Trail and other national park trails follow the creek for much of its course.

    Course

    Falls Creek begins at Dorothy Lake, which is located at one of the northernmost points in the national park. The headwaters, at nearly 10,000 feet (3,000 m) in elevation, lie between Forsyth Peak, Dorothy Lake Pass, Bond Pass and Bigelow Peak. It plunges into Jack Main Canyon, paralleling the Pacific Crest Trail, which carries it south to round Chittenden Peak, where Tilden Creek enters from the left. From there the creek passes Branigan Lake, then cascades down into the basin containing Lake Vernon, which it empties into. Issuing out of the southwest end of the lake, the creek flows in a southwesterly direction, approaching Hetch Hetchy Reservoir. Very near the mouth, it runs past Hetch Hetchy Dome and splits into two streams, which both cascade over the rim of Hetch Hetchy Valley, forming two waterfalls, Wapama Falls and Tueeulala Falls.
