Adding to its allure, the region boasts an array of ponds, lakes, and streams, attracting outdoor enthusiasts and sportsmen year-round.

While North Creek Falls can be found about on the Internet, its not a real popular destination, as witnessed by the lack of herd path from the Dexter Lake Trail -- I would have missed it if not for the sound of the rush and a glimpse of the falls through the brush looking off Dexter Lake Trail.
