Gnat Creek Falls   (Confirmed)
   Clatsop County, Oregon

[ Physical Makeup ]  [ Pictures ]  [ Maps ]  [ Update History ]

Gnat Creek Falls is said to be a three-tiered waterfall dropping between 200 and 250 feet at the head of a deep canyon. Accessing the falls is currently only possible by bushwhack but the Oregon Department of Forestry has apparently expressed interest in building a trail to the falls at several points in time. Status of any such projects are unknown.
