Etiwanda Falls is a waterfall in North Etiwanta Preserve in Rancho Cucamonga, California. It is fed by East Etiwanda Creek and can be accessed through a short 1.6 mi (2.6 km) hike into a canyon.[1][2] The approximately 50 ft (15 m) falls were created by two streams that merged and funneled the water into one area.[3] It has three drops, which are about 15 ft (4.6 m), 10 ft (3.0 m), and 25 ft (7.6 m) respectively.[4] In February 2023, a dead body was found at the trailhead.[5][6]
