About Sturtevant Falls
Sturtevant Falls was one of the more attractive waterfalls in the Southern California area.
The moss and algae growing on the cliff where its waters ran added lovely colors to this pleasant 50ft waterfall.
We also liked this waterfall enough to give it a spot on our Top 10 List of Best Southern California Waterfalls.
However, we also noticed that this waterfall was an extremely popular attraction so that came with its share of headaches.
That popularity probably had a lot to do with its location in Big Santa Anita Canyon in the foothills of the Angeles National Forest.
After all, that was where the urban sprawl sat right up against these foothills at Sierra Madre (just north of the suburb of Arcadia).
