A fun and historic place to visit. Arriving on the weekends allows a visit to the Grist mill actually in operation. Check hours before visiting as it is quite limited. Right next to the Grist mill is the only covered bridge in Clark County.
Beautiful setting and some history to boot. I believe the mill is only open on weekends, but you can arrange a group tour for another time. Volunteers are responsible for upkeep and tours and are extremely knowledgeable. Even if the mill is not open, you can walk around and peek in the windows. Be sure to bring your camera as the setting is gorgeous.
Nice drive to get there from the I-5. Impressive setting adjacent to a covered bridge and swift flowing water in a forest with big, beautiful trees. In the grist mill, I saw docents making flour and cornmeal and was able to take some home at no charge. One extremely knowledgeable "Friend of the Grist Mill" gave those present and explanation of the grist mill's history, personalities, and how it works. He took us to a platform where we could see a flume that brings water to the mill. It was near the fast flowing river where we could see salmon that were going upriver. Inside the mill building itself, an explanation was given on the use of all the different machinery. A cider press is on site that produces cider occasionally. The covered bridge adjacent to the mill and over the river was a great spot to hang out under to stay dry when it rained while experiencing the beautiful environs. Great atmosphere in the middle of a natural setting.
Nice place in a forest environment. But not a place for a long hike. Easy to find and a good place to stop during the scenic route
While visiting from Minnesota, I visited the Cedar Creek Grist Mill with four children ages 5 thru 9 and we all had a great time. The kids were allowed to watch up close as the flour was made, and got to feel the grains and flour. The volunteers were very informative and friendly. Both myself and the kids had a fun time watching, learning, and exploring inside and outside of the mill. And a bonus was getting to bring home a couple bags of the flour! There is NO fee to get in, they rely on donations instead to keep the mill open and running.
Didn't get to go when they were open, plan to return for a tour. So beautiful. Easy little walk by the river. GREAT photo opportunities.
Drove to mill on recommendation of local AAA agent. Mill and covered bridge make excellent photographs. Spring next to Mill and mossy trees make for great pictures.Lovely place to visit, great pictures.
Go to the bridge. Take a walk and have a look at the mill.Nice drive through the area and nice views on the mill.
One of the most amazing places to be during the Fall for photography, viewing nature or enjoying the colors of Autumn is the Cedar Creek Grist Mill in Woodland, WA...........This is a "Must See" destination for everyone who loves nature and history..........!
We were there on a day where it was not in operation. We like to take pictures and it was perfect without a crowd. It looks like it would be fun and educational if you went when it was in operation. (weekends) I do recommend you go to see it.
