I was in Beaver Creek Wilderness today, and thought I would try to confirm the possible Beaver Creek Falls. I approached from the west on the Middle Ridge Trail, and found no water fall on Beaver Creek near the posted coordinates. I tried to continue farther down the trial, but a large tree has recently fallen blocking the trail with the only options to get around being wading the creek, or a risky climb up the hill. Since I could not hear a waterfall from there, I decided not to bother going around the tree. Near the possible coordinates, there is a very small waterfall trickling over a small rock shelter along the trail. Perhaps that is what the original post was referencing. Personally, I consider this just a little more than a standard intermittent drip found at most rock shelters. Hope this helps. I've been very blessed by these databases.
