Lower Bridge Creek Falls

Bridge Creek Falls is located on the south side of Highway 6, just under 20 miles east of Tillamook. A large pullout on the south side of the highway affords plenty of parking space. Across the street is a footbridge spanning the Wilson River, providing access to the Wilson River trail (this is a good landmark to watch for as indication of where the falls are) and views of Lower Bridge Creek Falls spitting into the river.While most people take their time admiring the pretty falls upstream, as soon as Bridge Creek crosses under SR 6, it is spat out a culvert to fall 30 feet into the Wilson River, right next to an excellent swimming hole. I struggled to decide whether to even include this entry, since it does fall straight out of a pipe, but because the creek did originally have a waterfall at this location, I felt it is a justified entry.
