Description:
The short and well-shaded trail to University Falls near Gaston, Oregon, winds through the lush woods of the Tillamook State Forest. The main cascade drops approximately 55 feet over a basalt cliff into a mellow pool framed by red alder and mossy boulders. With only around 0.7 miles of round-trip hiking and modest elevation gain (≈180 feet), it’s a family-friendly outing well worth a half-day detour. Best enjoyed in the wetter months when the flow is at its peak; it may reduce to a trickle by mid-summer.
