Moulton Falls

Southwest Washington

updated 6 months ago

Moulton Falls is experiencing high river levels due to recent winter storms, offering a powerful display of nature. The trails are generally wide and well-groomed, suitable for various activities like walking and biking. Parking can be easier at the Hantwick Trailhead, which offers amenities like port-a-potties, though restrooms at the overflow parking area are closed in winter. Be aware of potential road noise and the possibility of crowds, as the area is popular even on weekdays. One report from January 10 indicated a bridge needing repair, and another from January 10 mentioned volunteers digging drainage channels and cleaning bridges.
