Confirmed from Cedar Creek Trail #476's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Hiking area with waterfalls and forest views.
What runners say about Cedar Creek Trail #476
“The trail led to a beautiful set of waterfalls making the long-ish hike worth it!”
“It's not well marked but you can kind of see a side trail leading off to the left as you're heading out to the falls.”
“Relatively easy hike with no monotonous switchbacks.”
What a beautiful autumn hike! The brush colors were gorgeous mid-October, and the waterfall is spectacular. Don't be discouraged by the fire damage. Such a hidden gem! There is a large parking area for those in a camper van or towing a small trailer.
Love this little hike. Strenuous if you’re out of shape, with a short steep start and otherwise very moderate and overall, very short. The falls will show up so quickly, it might surprise you. 50 minutes from the lot. Really beautiful despite the burn. Lots of bird activity.
Cool trail through a burned forest. Erie seeing the landscape. The trail led to a beautiful set of waterfalls making the long-ish hike worth it! There was no one else there so it was a nice break from the crowds in other parts of the cascades
Tons of parking space available! Makes me think it is a popular trail. Hike to the falls was a short 1.5 miles with some elevation gain through a beautiful pine forest. We hiked it briskly so got our hearts pumping a bit.

“5 miles round trip to the falls and only around 500-600 ft elevation gain).”
“As a creek trail you might expect this to be flat, but it's actually a pretty steady grade up to the falls -- which are well worth the 1.”
“It's not well marked but you can kind of see a side trail leading off to the left as you're heading out to the falls.”
