Wilderness Falls

Salt Rock Gap to Wilderness Falls via trails #474 and #490

Jackson County lists 0.9 mile without explicitly labeling the return distance. This is a route from Salt Rock Gap, not the entire 0.73-mile interior trail segment previously listed.

A descending forest trail with a sharper descent from the ridge. The old direct connection between the falls and Salt Rock is closed; stay on the maintained trails.

Where to start

Use Salt Rock Gap, the west entrance, at 3192 Breedlove Road in Glenville. From Cedar Creek Road turn onto Breedlove Road, continue to the pavement end, then turn left onto the gravel access to the parking area and gate. Do not attempt to drive through the valley from the east entrance.

Timing & water

The reviewed sources do not establish current road or trail conditions. The old Salt Rock shortcut is closed; use the described trail approach.
