The waterfall is located in lower Tenaya Canyon, around a half mile upstream from Mirror Lake.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Three Chutes Falls |url=https://www.world-of-waterfalls.com/userwaterfallreviews/three-chutes-falls/ |access-date=2022-04-15 |website=World of Waterfalls |language=en-US}}</ref> The name is from the three distinct "chutes" that the creek splits into upon flowing onto a slab of granite atop the falls, after which it plunges about {{convert|80|ft|m}} into a congregation of boulders.
==Access== The falls are easily reached by proceeding upstream along the Mirror Lake Trail. They are relatively obscure, and the trail requires some scrambling.
Further upstream is the much larger, {{convert|600|ft|m|adj=on}} Pywiack Cascade of Tenaya Creek.
