About a 1/2-mile loop trail, with stairs, providing wonderful views of the waterfall plummeting into the narrow channel. From the parking area, the trail is reached by a suspension bridge, from which it is sometime possible to see salmon in the shallow water.
Ladder Creek Falls is a really neat place to stop and do a short hike. There is a long suspension bridge that you have to use to cross the river to get to the falls. The bridge is great as you can stop and look for salmon in the river if the fish are there. When we stopped on the bridge you could see lots of large salmon just relaxing in the river. Once we got to the other side there is a short loop trail with stops at some of the water falls. It is really nice and cool by the falls and it made for a good place to stretch our legs!
A great and informative stop on the road. The falls are beautiful and the walk not too demanding. However, the gardens area is not currently maintained and was a let-down.
need to stop and see the falls and the garden. was here at 8 PM and No One was here so we had the place to ourselves. Loved the serenity and quiet ( loved the sound of the waterfalls)
My husband & I recently visited this falls while in the Pacific Northwest. We weren't quite sure what to expect, as the area is not really well marked & it is right at an electrical power plant site, but the short hike was well worth it! Several steps & bridges allow some wonderful views & mist of the falls. I love waterfalls & this was a very nice treat!
Stunning! The hike is an easy one with an amazing view. We were told they do a light show on the falls starting at 9 pm. I'm so glad we didn't miss seeing Ladder Falls.
A little steep on spots and of course it is slippery so careful when holding on to the railings. The grade was nice and so was the beauty of the falls. he old light posts were still there so history is kept!!!!
Nice stop with a small accessible trail. Must see if travelling along Hwy 20. Small trail loop with benches and well kept stairs.
This is a great hike that doesn't take a lot of time, but you get to learn about how the falls generate electricity. The trail is well marked and has a lot if good viewpoints along the way.
Took a trip here from the nearby campground on our one night in the area. I was pleasantly surprised that we all enjoyed the falls, even our 14 year old son. It is definitely worth your time if you are in the area at night. Bring a flashlight in order to read the signs.
