After reading reviews, we were hesitant to take the drive to these falls. There was mention of 8…read moremiles of gravel road with potholes that leads to the trail heads. But go we did. Turns out it is 5 miles of gravel road with the aforementioned potholes. Very slow going and dusty. It took over an hour to drive from Coos Bay. Which would have been okay if the falls were overly impressive which unfortunately they weren't. It has been very dry so there was very little water in the falls. There are massive rocks that the falls trickle over. If you want to get a little closer to the falls you will need to climb over fallen rocks. The trails need maintenance as the brush is intruding and parts of the trail are crumbling away. The area has a jungle like feeling with all the trees, ferns and other greenery. There are three trails. One to Silver Falls, one to the bottom of Golden Falls, and one closer to the tops of the falls. We hiked all three and it took about 1 1/2 hours. There are restrooms at the trail head, and an information stand. Personally, I would skip it unless the falls were full of water. Not worth getting the car dirty and challenging the suspension!

Many waterfalls and swimming holes along this amazing and shaded trail…read more Love mossy rocks? How about lush ferns? How do you feel about cascading water? Do you enjoy dipping your feet into cold water on a hot summer day? Or how about swimming among giant redwood trees? If any of this sounds appealing you need to visit Sweet Creek Falls. We came in the middle of summer and it was the perfect way to spend an afternoon hiking, meditating, and swimming. There are 11 waterfalls ranging in size and close to 2.5 miles all together of shaded trails to explore, rustic bridges included. This was definitely one of the highlights of our trip to Oregon last summer. Know before you go: Parking lots at each trailhead. Super stinky bathroom located only at Homestead Trailhead. Dog friendly. And most importantly FREE! *Don't be surprised to see topless women swimming. We all have breasts and it's a beautiful thing to be free especially in a place like this. If this bothers you just look away. *Don't use Yelp directions as they'll take you to the wrong place. Use Google instead. I've reported this several times but like nearly everything I report Yelp ignores it. And Happy Earth Day! If you haven't discovered what nature can do for your soul I highly recommend getting away from the daily grind, turning your phone off, and just enjoying what places like this can do for you. It's truly magical.

There are so many photo opportunities. Many different bridges along the trail allow you to walk over the water. There is a part of the trail where you have to walk through a small stream. I wasn't wearing the proper gear and didn't want wet shoes and socks, so we headed back at that point and headed towards the upper parking lot. The upper trail still had snow on the ground, and the parking area was pretty soggy. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our time here. We would love to come back again during a drier season. Highly recommend!

The morning time was foggy but so beautiful. It was super sunny in the afternoon. Parking can be tricky and a bit scary parking on the side of the road, but just keep an eye on the road and you'll be fine. The trail is shaded and is steady for the most part. There are a few steep areas as you get near the beach, but just prepare yourself for the view once you get there. The sand is soft, the water is cold, and you'll feel like you have thee beach to yourself. Remember to clean up after yourself!

There's a small sand beach on the lake, a playground, lots of open spaces and some trails. The lake has a 10mph speed limit so you don't have to suffer from the wakeboard/ski crowd and their blaring stereos competing for whose music is least bad. ATVs aren't allowed to operate there either so it stays mostly quiet. BAD: To no fault of the park, it is at the base of a grade on Hwy 101 and so the noise of trucks (and the cosplaying 'look at me' guys on Harley's) climbing and Jake braking while descending the hill really makes relaxing outside when it's otherwise quiet difficult to impossible. You can hear the louder ATV's on the dunes to the west too. The weekdays are especially bad for trucks. As you've probably gathered, I like my outdoors quiet, so if you're a party camper who makes noise, this noise probably just fine and this would be a 5 star park. If you like quiet, then 3.

This is a pretty nice area to walk and it looked like it had some good fishing.

Even at the start of winter the pond and ducks are a relaxing and calm sight to see. I imagine in the spring when everything is in foliage, it's more crowded.
