Directions:
  1. From Eugene head west on Hwy 126. When nearing Mapleton there will
    be a bridge. Before crossing the bridge there will be a road off to the left.
    That will be Sweet Creek Road. If coming from Florence pass through
    Mapleton and make a right turn to go over the bridge. Right turn after
    the bridge onto Sweet Creek Road.
  2. Follow Sweet Creek Road for appr. 10 miles.
  3. Look for a sign on the right side of the road that says "Sweet Creek Trail"
  4. There is a small parking area, picnic area and rest facilities
  5. The trail to several falls is on the left side of the parking area.
    The trail is fairly easy with very little rise and fall in elevation.
There are three trailheads that can access these falls. The second trailhead is half a mile up from the first one.
It is also named Sweet Creek Trail.
The third is called Wagon Road Trailhead, up an additional 0.7 miles.
This trailhead accesses "Sweet Creek Falls" (upper left picture) up a 0.8 mile path.
There is an upper and lower viewpoint for this falls.
