Lewis River Traverse Hike

Overview

There are few places in our area where extensive stands of bottomland old growth remains: some of these are the flats along the Lewis River. On the section which the Lewis River Trail #31 follows, you’ll meet many huge Douglas-firs and western red-cedars. Almost the entire route is within sight of the river itself except when you diverge to rise almost 400 feet above it at the Lewis River Gorge Overlook . In addition to the old growth and the gorge, you’ll visit the restored Bolt Camp Shelter and encounter numerous streams and minor waterfalls. Begin the hike with the two best falls by starting at the Curly Creek Falls Trailhead .
