The road to this waterfall is gravel and very narrow. Basically one car. We were told the water appears turquoise and the rocks are orange. The water was definitely not turquoise (maybe that was due to the recent rainfalls) but the rocks are very cool to look at.

It's very beautiful and feary tail like. The surrounding forest was whimsical. Only thing, due to my disability/handicap I couldn't go visit/see the falls. The rugged path wouldn't allow me. Other that that, I LOVE THE AREA!!

My husband and I visited here years ago. We discovered the falls by accident and today we're pleased they have not only marked the falls but made them slightly more accessible. These falls are beautiful but not an easy climb down to. However, if biking or walking is more your style there is a marvelous trail available.

Douglas Falls is the lesser known on the falls on the area (Blackwater Falls is much more popular) but you should definitely check it out. To access the falls you need to drive down a gravel road and across a wooden bridge before you reach …

I would say to spend the night. Bring a small grill and get a camp site. The area is beautiful. Mother nature will not disappoint at any age.

We went to the falls and they are beautiful but I couldn't help wonder why there is not steps down to the falls like there is at Blackwater Falls --the "rope" to get down the hill is hard to hang on. The road is grown up and no where to park

It's not an easily accessible touristy attraction. It's one that requires athletic ability to access which helps keep it less traveled and more wild in nature. Blackwater falls is the touristy spot with stairs to get to

is there a place to pinic

You can backpack in food but there are no picnic tables or trash cans so what you bring in, you have to take out. I would also bring hand wipes.

Is it a long hike? My husband can not walk to long with disabilities.

My husband has heart, back, knee problems. He did the short hike with minimal effort. There is a rope and a steep, short decent. It can be difficult for those that have trouble with steps or ladders.
