Bald River Falls Access

Bald River Falls Access provides easy roadside access to a scenic 90-foot waterfall via paved Forest Service Road 210, with a short 0. 3-mile trail to wheelchair-accessible viewing platforms.

The site offers parking (approximately 20-30 spaces at the main lot, with overflow at nearby Baby Falls), and serves as a trailhead for the 5.

6-mile Bald River Trail (#88) that follows the river upstream through the Bald River Gorge Wilderness, popular for day hikes and backpacking.

Paddlers can access the Bald River for Class II-V whitewater kayaking and canoeing, though navigation requires advanced skills due to boulder gardens, ledges, and hazards; non-motorized boating only is permitted.
