A boardwalked section of the Sweet Creek Trail follows the creek near Mapleton, Oregon.
The Sweet Creek Trail begins just outside of a small community called Mapleton, Oregon. I hiked it with my aunt on the way out of Eugene heading toward the Oregon coast. It’s a great representation of the Pacific Northwest and lush, old growth forests that are found all over Oregon. The hike goes up for one mile before reaching a small waterfall that naturally varies with the seasons. Given that it was fall there wasn’t too much force behind it, however it can change dramatically in the spring.
That looks like a fabulous place to hike!
It definitely is! I'd highly recommend it if you're ever in the area. Thanks for the comment!
We've hiked it several times and it is so beuatiful anytime you the year. You captured a great photo here, this is actually cooler the the falls.
Thanks Dennis! I'm sure if I'm ever back in the area I'll be doing the hike again no matter what time of year.
