Take Sweet Creek Road, on the east side of the Mapleton Bridge, (on Highway 126). On the south side of the Siuslaw River and running parallel to Highway 126, Sweet Creek Road is a narrow country lane that goes on for miles but is finally a dead-end. Watch for herds of elk and other critters along the way. Right after Mile Marker 10, turn into the first parking lot, watch for signs. The falls are an easy walk from there, but beware the slippery rocks. There are several trails, but all lead to the falls. No parking fee. No entrance fee. No wheelchair access.
