A tranquil hike with wide, flat gravel is ready to welcome you across the bridge. It's easy to choose your own distance because this trail connects to others for a loop (as I took advantage of) or can be a shorter, beautiful out & back.

There's minor road noise, but walking alongside the river with continuous views was delightful. I got to see (and thank) a search & rescue crew doing scenario practice.

Beautiful day for a hike! Loved the views and fun trails. No obstacles really the trail was well maintained and enjoyable for all. There are some steep areas leading up to some of the various falls, so I do recommend keeping young children close. 

It was a beautiful day to walk on these trails. There were people around but not too many. I can imagine on a hot day the area must be swarming.

Do note that there are several parking areas - and the side of the road has no parking signs. The sheriff looked like he was ticketing the cars parked along the road. Just go to one of the other lots.

My 2025.04.02 2nd walk/hike was in Moultan Falls Regional Park where i did an ~8 mi Loop, Moulton Falls Parking Lot > Yacolt Falls > Moulton Falls Trail > Service Road > Hantwick Road Trailhead > Moulton Falls Parking Lot.

When i was at Yacolt Falls (~08:45) enjoying its views, i noticed the Swing Bridge crossing Big Tree Creek was "opened" (i.e. dis-allowing foot-traffic). And i noticed a man slowly and carefully, wading along the West bank of BIg Tree Creek.

The trails and Service Road were in good condition. MFRP was well-maintained and clean. Despite the intermittent shower, or rain, i encountered a total of ~15 people and 5 dogs during my ~3 hours on-the-trail and in the Park; everyone's courteous and friendly.

Btw, the Moulton Falls Parking Lot enforce one-way traffic flow (Entry, and Exit) with "Traffic Teeth" - so be v careful.

Take care and be safe.

First time hike at this trail.  The bridge is closed for repairs and shrink wrapped in white plastic, so not even good for photos when closed. You cannot access the longer part of the trail from the Moulton Falls Regional Park parking lots, because they are on the other side of the river (North).  The north trail loop accesses a small waterfall trail, about 1.5 mile which was nice and very scenic.  If you park at the Hantwick trailhead on the south side of the river, you can access the longer part of the trail. This is a less scenic part of the trail. There was little signage and many fellow walkers were confused.
