Drift Creek Falls - Lincoln City
About this event
Drift Creek Falls Hike: Located in the Siuslaw National Forest near Otis, Oregon, this scenic 3-mile round-trip hike winds through lush coastal forest to a seasonal waterfall. The fun bonus is a 240-foot suspension bridge, about 100 feet above the canyon, offering select views of the falls below. The well-groomed trail is generally considered an easy-to-moderate hike, with the return journey climbing steadily back to the trailhead.
