Lewis River Falls — Friday, Sep. 16, 2022

The drive there was good, FR 90 has some pot holes, but they are mostly marked and can be avoided. I arrived the night before and camped at the Lower Falls Campground so parking wasn't an issue; this is a beautiful campground btw. I started at the Lower Falls and hiked to the Middle and Upper Falls. You can get right down to the Middle Falls and walk along the level area with waterproof shoes or sandals. The trail is nice and easy, nothing too challenging. Such a beautiful forest and the trail is mostly above the river the whole way. In the afternoon I returned to the Lower Falls to swim, there isn't an obvious access to the river but if you keep going to the right from the lower parking lot, you will find access to the river beyond the falls, then you can walk back towards the falls in the shallow areas. I recommend water shoes or good sandals for the walk, it's pretty slippery. The water is so cold but very refreshing for a quick dip! Truly a spectacular area to visit.
