There's also a climbing wall, zip line kinda thing, and a really big sand lot with a volcano-kinda thing in the middle that is deceptively difficult to walk up because the sand makes it slippery! PLUS there's a splash pad water fountain wet area! That part is not open year round. I mean it's open, but the fountains aren't running in the winter. All this is surrounded by covered picnic tables, very large grassy areas, walking paths covered by trees. Car parking. Bicycle parking. Clean bathrooms. Friendly clientele. We entered from the east side of the park where there is pedestrian access. On the west side of the park near the vehicle entrance, there is a skate park!

So, right before the parking lot, we took a wrong turn at the fork (do NOT go left- follow the…read moresigns for 'Oregon State Park' ). After about 3min of rough going, we figured out that no tire tracks mean we took the wrong fork in the road. FYI- there's no internet when you get off the main road. When we got to the right place, parking was super easy, and even though it was rainy and soggy and no one was around, we took all our stuff out of the car anyway. There were reports that people's cars were broken into, so yeah- took everything. The water fall is like, an easy 1/4 mile up through some lush greenery. The path is, maybe kinda paved, but not smooth. Incline is rather minimal. The waterfall at the end is pretty cool. Not loads of water, but you're really close to the river the whole way up. It was a relaxing walk, and entirely pretty and pleasant. It's worth a look if you have an extra 30-45min., maybe if you're going out to the Tillamook creamery or just headed up or down the coast.

What is interesting is that along the drive, there is also a Native American Powwow grounds along with a longhouse constructed in a similar fashion to what existed hundreds of years ago. It is worth stopping at along the way to the state park itself. We mainly stopped here to use the restroom and let our puppy out for a walk, and were pleasantly surprised by how peaceful this spot was. There was only one other car in the parking lot, and a few people just stopping to use the restroom just like us. Not much remains of this site, but several markers and archaeological digs show where buildings and sites used to be. When times are more functional (i.e. not Covid) I hear that there are events and tours of one of the buildings that actually remains and hosts a museum; unfortunately it was closed when we were there. A good road-trip stop worth going out of the way for if you are driving to the coast and want an alternative route to the often-congested Highway 18.
