Cosper Creek Falls is west of McMinnville.
GPS N45º 4.089', W123º 34.469', Elevation above sea level 380 ft.
Directions:
Halfway to the coast on either HWY 18 (McMinnville) or HWY 22 (Salem),
the two highways briefly combine.

At Valley Junction (18/22) where a sign for Hebo/Tillamook is shown, turn north onto HWY 22
In a half mile, park at a wide spot to the right (where a large rock with a smily face sits)
Cosper Creek Falls can be viewed at the wide spot (there's a path down to the creek near the rock)

In the picture from February you can see mud in the flow due to a high winter runoff.
Facilities available at Fort Hill just east of Valley Junction.
Gunaldo Falls is 12.5 miles further up HWY 22
