Cherry Creek Falls

Driving directions

From Main Street in downtown Duvall, head north and veer right onto NE 165th St/NE Cherry Valley Road and drive for 4.2 miles. Turn left onto Mountain View Road NE and park immediately on the east side of the road on the shoulder.

On the trail

From the parking area, pass through a blue gate onto a logging road. At one mile cross Margaret Creek on a bridge. Less than 0.10 mile further, stay left and ignore the spur road to the right. At a little under a mile you’ll reach another split in the road. Veer right and up a short slope to another junction. Stay right again and proceed downhill. Where the road makes a sharp hairpin to the right, head left onto a short user trail through the brush to another logging road. Once you reach the road, continue straight for about a mile to Hannan Creek. Trekking poles or waterproof boots are helpful here.
On the other side of the creek, look on the right for a trail leading down toward the water. This leads to an overlook above Cheery Creek Falls. Continue down to base of falls.
