Summary

Description

Lake Creek Falls is a series of small waterfalls and sliding cascades occuring about half a mile below the outlet of Triangle Lake in Oregon's Coast Mountains. The falls start out as a 40 foot wide, 15 foot tall fall. The creek then bends right and slides down a long ramp terminating in a sheer 10 foot plunge. The final fall is an even longer slide that plows into a large pile of boulders. All three tiers have fish ladders bypassing them. The falls are a popular swimming destination in the summer, but are most impressive during the winter and early spring. (taken from Northwest Waterfall Survey) Lake Creek Falls has been a popular swimming and picnicking spot since the early 1900s. Some people refer to this place as, the sliding rocks.

In the fall and winter, this site is a great spot to catch the amazing show put on by Coho and Chinook salmon and steelhead as they migrate upstream to spawn. In 1989, the Bureau of Land Management built a concrete fish ladder at this site, opening up more than 110 miles of stream habitat to fish.
