Pullout for Parking along County Road 7/Jackson Meadows Rd There are large rocks used as markers and a makeshift barrier for the pull out. A few hundred yards pass this sign, is a pullout on the left side (south) of the road directly in front of a dirt road that may be closed off. Perazzo MeadowsĪt roughly 6.5 miles down, start looking for a brown sign on the right side (north) of the road for Lake of the Woods. Along the way, I highly suggest stopping and taking in the views of the pristine Perazzo Meadows which is roughly halfway between Highway 89 and Webber Falls on Road 7. My directions are at the end of this article.Ĭounty Road 7 (Jackson Meadows Rd.) is a two lane road that winds through some really beautiful scenery within Sierra County. The directions I found on the internet were less than desirable as I felt myself staring at the odometer and every road sign until the turnoff from Highway 89. My ExperienceĪfter finishing up an exploration of the abandoned Donner Summit Train Tunnels, and a visit to the Donner Museum, I eventually made my way out to Webber Falls.
Webber died on June 9, 1882, and is buried in the Loyalton cemetery next to his nephew. In his 33 years of residing in Sierra County, Webber left a wonderful legacy of compassion, commitment and hard work. Webber showed a great deal of compassion for his fellow man as he also built a sanatorium, charged very low rates, and often forgave any debts owed from those who used his services. This hotel, which still stands today, was built to provide a place for travelers along the old Henness Pass Road and to show off his magnificent land that included the lake and nearby meadows. Most likely, after I visit the privately owned (soon to be publicly accessed) Webber Lake and the historic Webber Lake Hotel that was originally built in 1860. Webber’s journey from his birthplace of Livingston County, New York, on Sep 12, 1809, to his residence in Sierra County is a fabulous tale that will require a future article. He’s one man who rightfully earned the attachment of his name to some of the County’s most cherished land. Additionally, his contributions to Sierra County are immeasurable. From a young man, all the way to his final days, Webber adopted and/or supported at least 50-60 orphans.
What’s even more fascinating than his many successful business ventures, was Webber’s dedication to supporting orphans. Webber Falls, and nearby Webber Lake, are named after one of the region’s beloved pioneers – Dr. During peak season, this waterfall sounds like thunder as you can hear it from the Jackson Meadows Road (County Road 7). The waterfall has two drops with the upper fall being roughly 12 to 25 feet and the lower (larger) fall being about 50 feet. A few miles east of Webber Lake, the river plummets roughly 60 to 75 feet into the canyon, forming the powerful Webber Falls. The Waterfallīeginning at Webber Lake, the Little Truckee River flows in a southeastern direction through the region spanning roughly 30.6 miles before ending at a confluence with the Truckee River. Surprisingly, this impressive waterfall is one of the area’s best kept secrets to outsiders and tourists. In fact, during peak season, Webber Falls roars along the Little Truckee River and is a must see destination for any waterfall enthusiast. Located roughly 30 minutes northwest of Truckee, sits one of the region’s most remarkable waterfalls.
