Chad & Claudia took the Youth to Triangle Lake Rock Slides. This is a natural Rock Slide (See Info Below)
LAKE CREEK Just a half-mile south of Triangle Lake in the Siuslaw Watershed I explored a spot that perfectly defines the term “nature’s playground.” Lake Creek Falls, which was formed after a massive rockslide ages ago, is a serene site surrounded by towering trees and moss-covered boulders. The hike from the parking lot is a measly G mile, but on this hot summer day that was just fine. I crossed the street from the parking lot and descended the stairs leading to the middle section of the falls. Of the three tiers, this is the most popular spot among intrepid visitors. Its sloping bedrock doubles as a 100-foot natural water slide that dumps the curious—if not a little brave—into a wide swimming hole at its base.
Getting There: Head north from Eugene on Highway 99 for 25 miles to Junction City, then head west on Highway 36 for 28 miles to the Lake Creek Falls trail parking area. Cross the street, following the trail along the road until it reaches a staircase. Descend to an interpretive sign at the middle section of the falls. About 1/4 mile. Please use caution when swimming. For more information call the Convention & Visitors Association of Lane County in Eugene at 541.484.5307/ 800.547.5445 or visit http://www.travellanecounty.com/.
