About This Waterfall

Kalama Falls occurs about 6 miles downstream from Big Kalama Springs, the source of the Kalama River, and plunges about 40 feet into a large pool. The falls lie on Weyerhaeuser land, and though public access is allowed, it appears the trailhead can no longer be driven to as indicated by signs saying motorized traffic is not allowed beyond the gate without authorization. Walking or biking the 1 3/4 miles from the gate to the trailhead should still be allowed.
