Siouxon Creek Trail
About This Trail
The Siouxon Creek Trail wanders through beautiful old-growth forest. The canopy covered trail will lead you past a variety of waterfalls. The beginning of the trail is unmarked but soon after embarking, you’ll arrive a sign letting you know you’re headed the right way.
After about 3 miles, you’ll cross over a wooden bridge and pass the junction with Horseshoe Ridge Trail. If you follow this junction another 2 miles, you’ll come to Horseshoe Creek. Follow a short spur trail 0.1 miles past the creek and you will be rewarded with a view of Horseshoe Falls, a nearly 50-foot cascade.
If you opt to pass the junction, you’ll arrive at Souixon Falls in about 2 miles. Many smaller, side trails will offer you a variety of viewing opportunities.
If you feel like continuing the journey, you’ll arrive at 14-Mile Falls in about 1.8 miles. Follow the creek and cross a log bridge leading to a signed junction. Continue over the footbridge to see Chinook falls before heading back.

Being outside is how I re-charge. It gives me perspective, fills me with gratitude and provides an opportunity to disconnect from the chaos of everyday life. I am fortunate to share this passion with my amazing husband and our son. I was born and raised in the PNW but I love exploring any area I can get to. One of my favorite things about Hike it Baby is that I have a built in community of friends to provide trail suggestions anywhere we go.
