It had been raining torrentially for a couple days, and this day was no exception. We had to be creative to avoid the potholes on the road. After crossing the bridge over the West Fork of the Satsop River, as the road bends to the left there is a wide spot on the right, and a post marking the trailhead.
With all the rain the trail was wet, but firm. There were places where the entire trail was a puddle, and near the bottom became a creek. It’s sometimes difficult to discern which is the main trail and which are way trails, but it seems all of them lead to a view. Be cautious with children and animals as some lead to significant drop offs over either the Satsop or Spoon Creek.
There was a lot of water coming over the falls and the creek was high so we couldn’t get near the base of the falls, but the view was great anyway. With all the wet rain gear In the car the defroster had a hard time keeping up on the way home.
