Alsea Falls Day Use Picnic Area via Green Peak Falls Trail(edit)

Overview

This is a moderate out and back trail in Alsea Falls Recreation Area.

This trail goes by Alsea Falls Day Use Picnic Area.

There are two waterfalls on this trail: Alsea Falls and Green Peak Falls. This is a moderate hike with some elevation gain and loss. This is a beautiful hike, but it is a very crowded area in the summer.

Getting Started

Two ways to access the trailhead:
1. From Corvallis, take SR 34 west to the small berg of Alsea, and turn south at the signs for Alsea Falls. In one mile, turn left onto South Fork Road, and follow this route for 8.6 miles (some of which is gravel) to the marked picnic area.
2. From Junction City, follow SR 99W north to Monroe, and turn west onto Alpine Road (signed for Alsea Falls and the Benton County Tour Route), and follow the signs to the falls in about 13 miles.

Taking Children

This is a good hike for children. As always, use caution on the trail and near the waterfalls as there may be mud and/or slippery rocks.
