Lucia Falls Regional Park - Park in Yacolt - 21803 NE Lucia Falls Rd, USA

Beautiful park with crystal clear water. Lot's of spots to explore. Several spots to have a gathering/picnic. Public restrooms open during the Summer, not sure if open during Fall/Winter. Great place to enjoy nature.

Over a footbridge and into the woods. Lucia Falls has both park and wilderness features. A short walk down an easy path leads to a large maintained grass area with picnic tables and a bathroom. Head down the slightly steeper natural trail, and the view opens up to the featured Falls. Adventure through some of the short loop trails, or down (and up) to the falls themselves. Sit in the mist, or hop the rocks for a beautiful view. There is something for everyone, and furry friends are welcome! Parking is a paved, gated lot (closed at dusk). For safety, there is no roadside parking. If busy, I suggest driving a little further - practically across the street - and visiting Pomeroy Farms (weekends only). Using gps to be ready for the parking lot turn is appreciated by locals who regularly travel the river road; the drive is winding with marked speed limits between 40-50mph. Keep this in mind to safely enter and exit the parking lot. The main path from the parking lot to the bathroom and picnic area is moderately standard wheel chair accessible with a limited view of the Falls. Other areas could become difficult for both standard and motorized chairs. No other motorized or electric vehicles are allowed at Lucia Falls. As always, be a good steward of these nature areas. Rural parks generally have only one or two people to maintain their beauty, help them out by always removing your trash (including raw veg/fruit peels, dog waste, etc), and being flexible with your visit, when possible, to avoid overcrowding.

My recent visit to this park left a lasting impression, albeit not a positive one. While the park's natural beauty and potential for an enjoyable experience were evident, the hazards at the entrance overshadowed the visit. The narrow entrance with poorly marked warnings led to a series of unfortunate events, resulting in flat tires and a prolonged wait for assistance. The entrance to the park presents a significant safety concern due to its narrow width and inadequate warning signs. The difference in width between the entrance and exit is confusing for unfamiliar visitors, and the unnoticeable separating post poses a serious risk to vehicles. The absence of prominent warning signs in a clearly visible location makes it easy for drivers to inadvertently choose the wrong path, leading to tire damage and significant inconvenience. In my case, the lack of proper warnings resulted in flat three tires. The wait for a towing truck to arrive and assist us lasted an agonizing four and a half hours, significantly dampening the overall experience and adding unnecessary stress to our day. Upon speaking with the towing truck driver, I was disheartened to learn that incidents like ours are not uncommon. It's concerning that the towing truck driver, who shared that he comes to assist stranded customers at the park frequently, highlighted an ongoing issue that needs immediate attention. I strongly urge the park management to take proactive measures to enhance safety at the entrance. Placing a warning sign in the middle of the entrance and incorporating a flat tire warning would greatly help prevent similar incidents in the future. Additionally, reevaluating and redesigning the entrance layout to minimize confusion and clearly demarcate the correct path for vehicles is essential to ensuring a safe and pleasant experience for all visitors. In conclusion, while the potential for an enjoyable visit to this park is evident, the safety hazards and lack of appropriate warnings at the entrance pose a significant risk to visitors. Urgent improvements are needed to address these issues and create a safer environment for all. I hope that the park management takes this feedback seriously and prioritizes the necessary changes to enhance the overall safety and experience for visitors.

Located in Yacolt Washington, lies Lucia Falls. It is truly a stunningly beautiful and picturesque Pacific Northwest gem!! To all of my fellow nature lovers and hiking enthusiasts, you must check this place out! My husband and I had such an awesome time here today, and I am completely convinced you will too! You are surrounded by nothing but lush green forest and big open waterfall areas along the Lewis River. Simply breathtaking, and sooo serene! Another perfect 'getaway' spot! Apart from the 1 mile hike that is Lucia Falls, there is a 2.5 mile hiking trail connected to this short trail called Moulton Falls. There are quite a few other trails that branch off these trails too. If you are looking for a longer walk, this place has got you covered. Do go chasing waterfalls, because there are 4 of them in this area! 👍🏼

Hidden gem. Found this place by poking around on maps because it doesn’t really appear on hiking lists. Beautiful scenery, easy to medium hard hiking depending on how close you want to get to the water. You can hike for 1 mile or up to 6 depending on how much you want to walk. Dogs are allowed on leash but no contact with water allowed. Parking was easy and free. Best to go before 9:30am on hot days

Lucia Falls trail is a quick one mile loop with several branch-offs that lead to the river and the falls. The trails are well kept, free of debris, and mostly accessible. The view of the falls is great. There are picnic tables to sit and watch/ listen at the falls. Lush greenery and abundant wildlife make this an excellent quick hike. There are restroom facilities near the trailhead.

Great park! Enjoyed walking there,it has limitations for visitors, you can't touch water! Because they are doing their best to preserve natural conditions for the salmon. Water is crystal clear,lovely views! Highly recommend if you're looking for a peace, quiet, and private time with nature!

Love coming there, absolutely amazing place . I encourage you to walk up to trail. .til the bridge. View is amazing 😍
