Activity Notes

Pup Creek Falls is one of the few notable waterfalls in the Clackamas River area that is accessible by trail. This popular hike undulates from high steep slopes down to river level and back up the slope again. You'll see river rafters and kayakers in the spring and summer, and massive old-growth Douglas-firs and some stately cedars appear at regular intervals. There are a couple of spots where the trail seems to slide away every year, so take care in these areas. Your destination is a two-tiered, 240-foot waterfall that gushes most profusely in the spring but remains photogenic all year.  (from Oregon Hikers)
