Drift Creek Falls is an easy 3 mile round-trip hike that is perfect for the whole family! This hike is generally accessible year-round and because of its relatively close proximity to Portland and Salem, it does tend to be busy on weekends. The parking lot is quite small for how popular this hike is, and it can hold roughly 20 cars. There is a pit toilet at the trailhead and to help keep the trailhead clean and stocked with toilet paper and map brochures, you are required to pay a $5 day use fee, or us your Annual NW Forest Pass if you have one.
