The place

About Moulton Falls Regional Park

Clark County's 387-acre Moulton Falls Regional Park sits at the East Fork Lewis River and Big Tree Creek, with two waterfalls, an arch bridge and a trail connection toward Lucia Falls.

The park is open daily from 7 a.m. to dusk. Published facilities include one grill, nine picnic tables, one restroom, 47 parking spaces and two disabled parking stalls.

Swimming is allowed, but there is no lifeguard and the county warns about swift currents and depth changes. Jumping or diving from the bridge is prohibited.

The county trail sheet calls the Hantwick-to-park trail barrier-free; that does not establish access across the whole park, bridge or falls viewpoints.

What stands out

Walk beside the East Fork

Use the river and creek setting while checking current flow and trail conditions.

See the falls and arch bridge

View the landscape without treating any dated photograph as proof of today's route or access.

Connect toward Lucia Falls

Consider the 2.5-mile trail only after checking distance, weather and daylight.

Plan water safety first

Respect swift water, changing depths and the bridge jumping and diving prohibition.

Pair it with the train

Why it belongs in a Chelatchie Prairie Railroad trip

The park ranks first about 2.92 road miles and roughly five minutes from the sole official Yacolt boarding anchor. Treat it as a separate road stop rather than assuming a train-stop itinerary.
