Join us on a hike to another of the most beautiful waterfalls in Oregon, Sweet Creek Falls near Mapleton Oregon. This place stands out for the sheer beauty all along the trail, where smaller cascades seem hidden around every corner and cool catwalks allow you to walk right at the river’s edge.
In today’s video, we’ll share the highlights of this beautiful hike and everything you need to know to visit Sweet Creek Falls yourself.
The Sweet Creek Falls trailhead is on the central Oregon coast, about a 3-hour drive south of Portland or an hour and 15 minutes’ drive east of Eugene.
We visited on a Saturday afternoon in April, and there were plenty of other people on the trail, but it wasn’t packed. In addition to the spectacular waterfalls, make sure to appreciate the amazing moss along this trail.
The trail follows Sweet Creek through an idyllic moss-covered forest. At just under two miles out and back, it’s a short hike, but definitely worth a visit for the incredible scenery.

Make sure to look out for wildflowers and wildlife along the trail. We saw skunk cabbage, largeflower fairybells, and salmonberry flowers blooming.
I think of Sweet Creek as a kind of waterfall paradise because waterfall after waterfall materialize along the trail. It’s incredible how uniquely beautiful each one of them is. Although there are many waterfalls along the way, the official Sweet Creek Falls is at the end of the trail.
Definitely a special place if you enjoy waterfalls and lush Pacific Northwest forest!
