Directions: From Skanee go 5 miles east on Skanee Rd. and turn south on Black Creek Rd. Just past the bridge at Erick's Falls turn right on 'Leatherby Falls Rd'. Take Leatherby Falls Rd south for 2.5 miles to where the main road goes left and there is a forest road on the right, take this road west staying to the right all the way to the river and park. Take the ORV trail on the left southwest 150 yds to the falls. Upper Leatherby is 1/4 mile upstream from Leatherby Falls

Notes: The first picture doesn't really do these falls justice (hmmm...I wonder whose fault that is?) because there's more to these falls then I could get in one shot. Here's the main part of the falls from the side (barely visible in the other picture, top right corner):

I have to go back there one day anyway because I didn't visit Upper Leatherby while I was there, maybe I'll have to get wet or something to get a better picture.
