Elk Creek Falls is one of many waterfalls located within the small Elk Creek basin, just above the South Fork Coquille River.
Due to the constricted canyon and the thick forest growth lining the creek only the final 83-foot tall tier of the falls is clearly visible from the end of the short, easy trail used to access the falls.
Just downstream of the viewpoint for the falls, the trail intersects the Big Tree Trail, which leads moderately steeply up hill to a stand of old-growth trees, among which can be found the world’s largest living Port Orford Cedar tree – 12 feet in diameter and 230 feet tall.
Chase Oregon Waterfalls with us by following the Pinterest and Facebook pages of the Oregon Bed and Breakfast Guild.
It’s possible to drive the entire Pacific Coast Scenic Byway in a single day. But why would you when you have 6 member inns of the Oregon Bed and Breakfast Guild from Cannon Beach to Port Orford? Take a few days, take a few side trips and enjoy the ride. Elk Creek Falls is about an hour off of the Pacific Coast Highway. WildSpring Guest Habitat, Port Orford, is our closest inn to the Falls.

The huge piece of art measuring 24-inches across and 18-inch down will be carefully folded and mailed free-of-charge to travelers upon request, while supplies last.

Oregon Bed and Breakfast Guild is ready to share Oregon with you: it’s environment, culture, and heritage. Combine gracious hospitality with ambiance at an inspected and approved Oregon Bed and Breakfast Guild member Inn.
Hospitality Update: Things are looking up. The CDC has lifted the mask mandate for fully vaccinated individuals and while Oregon is following this guidance, some inns may still be requiring masks to be worn in some situations. Please check with individual B&Bs to inquire about their specific policies. Each Oregon county, depending on its vaccination and case numbers, are also adjusting their regulations accordingly.
Let’s all be respectful and safe and follow the guidance of our individual counties, inns and businesses. While it’s almost safe enough to climb aboard that travel train it’s still a little scary but we’re ready when you are! Our inns will continue to do everything in our power to keep you safe. Not sure if your favorite inn is open? Give them a call as they just might be.
