Fall River
Located in the southwest corner of Yellowstone National Park, the Falls River basin is truly a fisherman's and waterfall lover's paradise. This is the major river that drains the Cascade Corner area of Yellowstone . The four major streams in the area are the Belcher River, Boundary Creek, Mountain Ash creek and of course the Fall River itself. They begin on the Madison and Pitchstone plateaus and they carve canyons through Yellowstone Park's southwest corner.
The Fall River is appropriately named because of the many waterfalls along its tributaries. Some of Yellowstone's most beautiful waterfalls are in this area. As the runoff of many creeks fall off the Madison and Pitchstone Plateaus, waterfalls are formed.
With almost 80 inches of annual precipitation, the Falls River area is one of the wettest portions of Yellowstone National Park. The area is a nirvana for backpackers, fishermen, and photographers.
