Lower Copper Creek Falls

Located along the Middle Lewis River Falls trail system, southwest of Mt. Adams, off of Lewis River Road # 90. Drive east of Lower Lewis Falls Recreation area for 1 miles to the Middle Lewis Falls parking lot. Two trails depart the parking lot, leading down to Middle Lewis River Falls in 1/2 mile. The lower trail descends to the Lewis River trail, from where you'll head upstream, to where the trail crosses Copper Creek directly above Lower Copper Creek Falls. The upper trail crosses Copper Creek above Copper Creek Falls, then descends directly to the Middle Falls, where you'll head downstream to Lower Copper Creek Falls.The lower of the two major falls on Copper Creek is slightly less interesting, but is worth a look since you'll probably be going to Middle Lewis River Falls anyway. The falls are a double Fan type drop, the upper tier 26 feet and lower about 6 feet - both tiers morphing into predominantly horsetail forms during the drier months.
