Hatchet Falls is a water fall located off of Big Bend Road in Shasta County, California. It is about a 40 min drive east of Redding on highway 299. There is an awesome log that you can climb up and jump off, or you can climb the log to the top of the falls for a higher jump. Just remember there is about a 10 - 15 ft radius that is deep enough to jump into around the log and close to the falls.
