Painter initials1502 viewsTo hike to Painter Creek Falls one must obtain permission from the owner of the property at the trail head. Thanks to that property owner we found a pristine creek and falls. The falls is located about two miles up the creek with only about a fourth of that having a trail.

Thanks to Gene, the owner, and the Forest service for keeping Sampson Mountain a wilderness.
