Alsea Falls

The thirty-foot cascade of Alsea Falls forms where the South Fork Alsea River drops through dense forests of Douglas fir and western red cedar trees.

The Bureau of Land Management established this recreation site along a National Back Country Byway to maintain public access to the Oregon Coast Range natural areas.

Local residents participate in seasonal fishing activities at Alsea Falls, targeting salmon and steelhead during winter months while others gather for swimming in summer.

The recreation area requires a five-dollar day-use fee and provides facilities including designated trails, picnic spots, drinking water stations, and vault toilets.

The falls connect to a network of twelve miles of mountain biking trails, offering both waterfall views and specialized cycling paths from Fall Creek trailhead.
