Overview
This hike takes you to two waterfalls, one on the South Fork Alsea River and the other on Peak Creek. The trails are part of the Bureau of Land Management's Alsea Falls Recreation Area, with the path to Green Peak Falls in the Hull-Oakes Company's Hubert K. McBee Memorial Park. Other than the trails to the falls, there is a more extensive network of trails open to mountain bikers and hikers that extend up the slopes of mostly secondary forest on both sides of the Alsea River. The campground and day-use areas are open from mid-May to September 30th. However, the best time to come and see the falls is from late fall through mid-summer as they can be reduced to mere trickles in the dry season. There are a few old growth Douglas-firs on the optional Big Fir Loop described in the third paragraph; this extension adds about two miles and 500 feet of elevation to the waterfall hike.
