Parked at the Buck creek trail 1169 car park right off the 410, walked a hundred feet East to the trailhead sign, headed north and met up with the white river trail, headed through it, the connector, then connected back to the snoquera falls loop.

Really nice hike with my dog.

After finishing the loop, crossed over the 410, walked to the buck creek trail 1169 that went down to the white river. Really enjoyed this section that I've driven by hundreds of times. Recommended to see this as you get right down to the level of the river. No bridge anymore of course.

Falls is down to a mere trickle. I imagine in a few days it will be completely dried up. If you’re looking for a peaceful hike through a gorgeous forest with a moderate gradual incline then now might be the time to hit this trail. Only a few other persons on the trail, parking lot was wide open.  

We did the loop counterclockwise. The trail ground is very dry and loose. On the way down after you pass the falls, we encountered quite a bit of narrow, rocky, loose trail. You can’t see much of the falls from the trail. The rock face is very pretty and there are some great views from the trail. Overall good hike but not one I’ll do again anytime soon. Make sure to save your map/ directions since service is spotty and signage is weird. After we passed the falls and continued our hike and made it down the hill, there is a sign post that someone scratched into to indicate which way to go to complete the loop. 

The Snoquerra Falls Loop trail from Camp Shepard trailhead was in great condition Friday 6/28. Brushed out and flagged for the SISU 24 ultra run on Saturday. There was also a WTA work party taking out rock ledges and putting in logs and rock. I stopped to chat with friend Don S on the crew.  Lots of big Douglas Firs in this forest, and some pretty good sized Pacific Yews. Salal, thimbleberry, star flowers, foam flower in bloom. Western Coralroot orchids. The side trail up to the falls is steep and rocky. I went up for a closer look at the falls in heavy mist. Not a lot of water flowing, but it is a dramatic spot. On the way back I walked the Moss Lake loop. That is a very nice accessible trail through wetland areas for anyone looking for a short, fairly level hike on soft surfaces and boardwalks. 

Happy first day of Summer! I joined the WTA 410 Trail Crew for a day of trail work on the Moss Lake Loop at Snoquera Falls. We "flossed" about 250ft of bridges and puncheons, plus cleaned up sections of the trail that were covered in pine needles and other random debris. There were some mosquitos out, but with some bug spray they seemed to just be annoying and not attacking us. The crew will be out doing more work on the Snoquera Falls Loop the next couple of weeks. If you haven't been out to do trail work before, now is the time to check it out!
