Ecola Creek Falls via Ecola State Park

[forestkeeper]

I'm not quite sure if most have seen this little gem of a waterfall. I haven't seen this waterfall in the Field Guide. But you can find this beautiful Ecola Creek Falls near the Indian Beach parking lot at Ecola State Park in Cannon Beach. It isn't noticeable from the road or parking lot but if you walk about 50 to 75 yards from the vault toilet, parallel with Ecola Creek, you can find an opening in the brush to the slight descent to the falls.

Hope you visit and find peace and enjoyment here!

How tall is it?

Hey Brian. I'd say about 8-10 feet. I looked for a way down to its base but it's too steep near the bottom. Next time I return, I'll dun some rubber boots (knee high) and walk the creek upstream from the beach. The sides of Ecola are steep with multiple bogs and thick with brush. Or another way is bring some rope along and descend at the falls.

Nice find, FK! I'm a big fan of modest-but-photogenic little waterfalls like this.

Thanks for posting!
