Drift Creek Falls, Lincoln City OR

• 5-star hike • 3 mile out-and-back • Easy | Gain 420 to 490 feet • Lincoln City, OR | Oregon . A suspension bridge provides an awesome vantage point. Tucked into the Siuslaw National Forest east of Lincoln City, this out-and-back route along the Drift Creek Falls Trail leads hikers across a steel rope bridge that spans a 100-foot-deep gorge to reveal spectacular views of the nearby Drift Creek Falls. The trail heads downhill from the trailhead through shaded second-growth forest, switchbacking its way to the bridge. The grade is consistent rather than steep, so the return ascent is manageable, though noticeably more strenuous than the easy walk down.
