Abiqua Falls

01/30/18

The waterfall is amazing. Please note the short hike is treacherous in the winter months. After a solid rain fall, I highly suggest hiking shoes. The mud has loosen sturdy rocks making footing challenging but doable. There are a number of trails that lead to the Abiqua creek from the parking area. Once Parked, I suggest beginner/intermediate hikers to stay on the left trail. It will be gradual. The right trail is extremely steep (similar to a face of a cliff) and there was a warning on a web site that says “people have fallen recently as 2017.” Getting half way down on the right side trail made me understand why. Experienced hikers should proceed with caution. Once you walk along the creek a ways you hear the roaring of the falls and you are able to escape into nature’s beauty.
