Munson Creek Falls State Natural Site

Munson Creek Falls tumbles 319' over several tiers, making it the tallest waterfall in the Coast Range.

During the late fall through the winter, watch the waters for spawning salmon just below the surface.

A short trail winds along Munson Creek through an old-growth forest to a viewpoint of the waterfall.

The ¼ mile trail is accessible for all ages and every level of hiking enthusiast. Spring and summer bring blooming trillium, corydalis and violets beneath the forest canopy.

Come fall, the big leaf maples and red alders are ablaze with color. Munson Creek is vital salmon habitat.

In 1999, the Western Rivers Conservancy deeded land surrounding Munson Creek Falls to the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department. Simpson Timber Company sold the land along Munson Creek to the Western Rivers Conservancy for one-half of its appraised value. Funds for the purchase were donated by the Paul Allen Forest Protection Foundation.
