Waterfalls Near Payson: A Chasing Guide
The Payson area is home to more waterfalls than most visitors realize. Beyond the well-known Water Wheel Falls, several other cascades are tucked into the canyons and forests of the Mogollon Rim country. Chasing waterfalls is one of the most rewarding activities you can do during your mountain vacation.
Spring is the best season for waterfall viewing, when snowmelt and spring rains swell the creeks and rivers. But even in summer, many falls maintain a steady flow thanks to the natural springs that feed them.
