Sweet Creek Falls is a gem of a hike, nestled in the hills between Mapleton and Eugene, Oregon and is part of the Suislaw National Forest. The total hike is a fairly easy 3.8 miles round trip, with only a 500 foot elevation gain. The trail head is a little difficult to find and there are not a lot of signs to direct you to the parking area.
It was a beautiful hike, with ferns of all sizes and mosses of amazing shades of green covering the trees and downed logs.
As you walk upstream, there are several small waterfalls cascading over rocks. At the end of the trail is where Sweet Creek Falls cascades
seventy-five feet into a pristine blue pool.
What a beautiful hike in the woods, well worth the drive!!
Until Later.
