Review:
Lower Lewis River Falls offer one of Southwest Washington's most beautiful hiking overlooks, showcasing a spectacular 43-foot cascade that stretches 200 feet across the Lewis River. Hikers can access the falls via an 8.8-mile roundtrip hike that gains 450 feet in elevation to a high point of 1,300 feet above sea level. Along the way, beautiful patches of old-growth cedar and fir forest areas are viewable, along with unique ancient forest areas of coralroot, pinesap, and gnome plants. Several other waterfalls are showcased along the trail, including the impressive 58-foot Upper Lewis River Falls, the cascading Middle Lewis River Falls, and the 32-foot Lower Copper Creek Falls drop. All of the cascades are known as prime nature photography opportunities and popular picnic sites. Hikers are welcome to bring well-behaved dogs on the trail on leashes.
