Trail Description
Fall Creek isnsinglequotet the most spectacular hike around, but it does make for a good escape from Eugene. Actually, the hike would be great, except for the road which is on the opposite bank of Fall Creek. There are several portions of trail where you can forget about the road, and just listen to the water, and enjoy the forest. The Creek is clean and clear. If you time it right, you can see large fish swimming around in it. There is one added benefit to the road; there are several trailheads for this trail, so you can explore different sections without having to hike the whole thing. This trail is also pretty low elevation, so itsinglequotes generally hikeable year-round.
