About This Waterfall

The Forest Service has advertised Clarence Creek Falls by sign along the Nestucca River Road. What neither the Forest Service, nor the book A Waterfall Lover's Guide to the Pacific Northwest have done is identify which of the two waterfalls along Clarence Creek is intended of this designation. While it isn't totally clear which of the two falls the forest service is designating (this is the obvious target), the aforementioned book lists this 40 foot veil as Clarence Creek Falls. Because the two falls are located within about 500 feet of one another, we've designating them as lower and upper. Unfortunately neither fall is easy to see because there are no developed trails or viewpoints, but of the two, this one is easier to view - at least when the trees are not leafed out.
