  Dogs Galore For Those Not Afraid Of Heights

  When you follow your GPS/phone navigation to get to Drift Creek Falls, and get to a fork in the road, go LEFT (like the signs show). Otherwise you'll end up down gravel roads leading to a dump! Once you pull into the parking lot there are restrooms (phew!), and although it seems very busy on weekends, we did find a parking spot within the lot. The hiking trail itself had us passing many other dogs along the way. The trail is narrow in most spots if hiking in a group or with more than one dog, and has both inclines and declines both into the waterfall and out to the parking lot. The suspension bridge is VERY COOL, but it does shake and for those afraid of heights, this may not be something you're wanting to trek across (to see the waterfall) Overall it was a moderate hike for us, but very beautiful and a fun way to spend the day!

  Leisurely hike, dog friendly!

  A favorite hike of mine, I've done it many times over the years with or without dogs. It's a shorter trail at about 3.2 miles round trip, and 541' elevation gain. Although the elevation gain is backwards, you hike down to the falls and back up to the parking lot. You can see the waterfall from the top about 1 mile in, or you can cross the suspension bridge and get down to the bottom of the waterfall. You'll need a NW Forest Pass, or you can pay $5 for single use at the trailhead.

  Nice hike

  This was a moderate hike. a lot of roots and large rocks on the trail and a lot of uphill on the return. if you’re a senior hiker, get rested before you start back! it is worth the hike just for the suspension bridge. In September the waterfall was very small but still nice.

  Great hike

  Wide paths, easy hike without steep inclines. The suspension bridge is very stable and at the end of the hike. You can see the waterfall before the bridge if your dog doesn’t like heights. Lots of dogs on leash on the trail

We dug up 3 pictures of dogs at Drift Creek Falls Trail.
