Moulton Falls is a 10-foot cascade where the East Fork Lewis River pours through a cleft in a lava layer, in Clark County's Moulton Falls Regional Park. It is just a few steps from the lower parking area; a flight of steps leads to the rocks beside the top of the falls. The falls can also be seen from the trail on the opposite bank: from the large lot near NE Sunset Falls Road, go down the slope from the trailhead sign and take the side path to the right. At high water the falls become more of a long rapid. Swimming is allowed but there are no lifeguards, and currents can be swift. Do not dive or jump from the arch bridge.
