Oregon Hikers Field Guide: University Falls Hike

University Falls is a 60-foot falls on Elliott Creek. From the trailhead, take the eroded path up from the left side (not the Powerline Motorcycle Trail just to the west). Cross the ATV track two times, drop across a gully under power lines, and enter forest. Keep straight past the Gravelle Brothers Trail junction to a campsite, then bear left past an old painted sign to the falls.

University Falls Trailhead to the base of University Falls

Oregon Hikers gives a trail about a third of a mile long and 0.7 mile round trip with 180 feet of gain.

Eroded natural-surface trail with roots and rocks, a steep drop into a gully, and two crossings of an ATV track.

Where to start

Small gravel pullout for about six cars at the signed University Falls Trailhead, reached from the Rogers Camp turnoff on Highway 6 via Beaver Dam Road and University Falls Road. No restrooms or water. Share forest roads with ATVs.

Timing & water

Oregon Hikers lists the trail as open all year. The falls shrink to a trickle by mid-summer; winter and spring are best.
