The Madera County Sheriff's Office says the 14-year-old slipped and fell 50 feet down a waterfall along Willow Creek at Angel Falls Recreation Area.
The teen landed in a pool in the middle of the waterfall, injuring her shoulder.
Search and rescue crews had to rig up a rope system and crawl over rocks into neck-deep water before hoisting her to safety.
The girl was evaluated by paramedics and released.
