Hiking to Fall Creek Falls starts at a trailhead that runs south along a cascading creek.[1] The trailhead is at the left side of Oregon Route 138 as it goes through Umpqua National Forest, and is approximately one mile of gravel surface into the mountain. The trail passes through a narrow crevice in a large boulder, then climbs alongside the creek before approaching the falls.[2]
