Little Nestucca Waterfalls Oregon

April 10, 2012 - PRLog -- If you have the time after enjoying a stay in Lincoln City, Oregon at The Coho Oceanfront Lodge ( http://www.thecoholodge.com ) or the Inn at Wecoma ( http://www.innatwecoma.com ), return to Salem, Portland or points beyond via the Little Nestucca River.

Head north out of Lincoln City on Highway 101. Take the right fork to Neskowin, continue to Hebo and Beaver. At Beaver, turn north (left) onto Blaine Road (also marked Blaine – Little Nestucca River Road #85). Drive 11.8 miles then turn north (left) on Clarence Creek Road #83. Follow this gravel road 0.9 miles to the Clarence Creek Falls. Retrace your route to Clarence Creek Road, turn left and proceed 5.5 miles to Alder Glen Camp. Here you will find Alder Glen Falls.

Clarence Creek Falls is just under 50 feet high while Alder Glen Falls is only about 20 feet tall. The falls themselves are not spectacular compared to Drift Creek Falls or Munson Falls but the scenic drive combined with the falls makes for a very pleasant day trip.

By winding and twisting on Clarence Creek Road, you will ultimately end up in Carlton, Oregon. At this point you can go north on Hwy 47 to Yamhill. From there you can continue north thru Gaston to Forest Grove and Hillsboro or turn east on Hwy 240 to Newberg and then on to Salem or Portland.

Not counting the time at the falls or stopping to picnic, a leisurely drive will take you 5.5 to 6 hours to get from Lincoln City to Yamhill. Add about an hour to get to Portland.
