This park is very lush with picnic tables and grills spread out for privacy. The view of the lake is gorgeous! There are over 6 miles of trails, some of which intertwine. If you're new to these trails, a map is a good idea; one could easily get lost if not familiar as the trails aren't all marked. I just took a picture of the trail map by the parking area to have as reference in case I needed it. The trails are lush and mainly dirt and rocks. If you walk down to lower falls the trail can be a little more treacherous. Some of the hills are steep and some rocks loose. Make sure you wear the proper footwear. There are a few falls to see, many creeks, a dam and a couple lakes (Lacamas and Round). Overall a wonderful place to get outside for fresh air and beautiful scenery. Highly recommend.

I watched families and hikers passing by, some daring to dip into the water. I can only imagine how cold it must be, but it looked exhilarating! Every turn offered something new, towering trees, sparkling streams, and even little corners where wildflowers peeked out. We ended up spending hours wandering, stopping whenever we felt like it, and just enjoying the simple beauty of it all. It's definitely a stop that makes you slow down, notice the little things, and feel refreshed by being outside. I can see myself coming back again and again.

A very unique and beautiful area to visit!…read more The trailhead has a nice parking area, with bathrooms. The trail to the winding, aqua blue stream is wide and well maintained. You can view the main attraction from trails on both sides, as well as looking down from the bridge. We took the trails on both sides of the water. The trail across the bridge is much easier to traverse, and winds down to the (closed down) suspension bridge. The opposite side leads down beyond the suspension to the waters edge, but even to get down to that point isn't for the faint of heart. It includes a narrow, steep downhill trek...including a section over running water (with a wire handrail for support). Once you arrive at the water at the bottom you can view the suspension bridge above, and if you dare, the waterfall below. We did attempt to continue on a little ways down the trail from there, but as reviews describe, the next section is even steeper with a very loose and dangerous footing. I got vertigo trying to look over the edge at the falls right before that section, so continuing on was a huge no. I'm sure that many people without height woes have no issues moving on, but if you're like me, the trail ends there. This area is stunning. The waters and canyon are a site that pictures simply cannot do justice. Highly recommend!!

To see if you might agree with me, ask yourself if you are a fan of the following kinds of experiences (and note that they all have a common theme): 1) You worked hard all day and then the boss decides not to pay you. 2) You licked the Tootsie Pop for an hour but there was no toosie roll in the center. 3) You spent a tidy sum wining and dining your date, and in the end he or she didn't put out. 4) You starved yourself and did insane crunches for six months, but you never got those six-pack abs. 5) You put a dollar in the vending machine and pressed the button, but nothing came out. Climbing Devil's Rest is a lot like the above experiences because it's distinguishing feature--the thing that distinguishes it from its antipode, Angel's Rest--is that there are ABSOLUTELY NO GOOD VIEWS FROM THE SUMMIT. You hiked all that way and there's no payoff. You're in thick trees. It ends with a wimper rather than a bang. If you're going for cardio, you can link up Angel's Rest and Devil's Rest if you like, although there are much better ways to get your exercise in the Gorge. You can also do Devil's Rest as a side trip from the Multnomah Falls - Wakeena Falls loop trail. That said, I will confess that on rare occasions I actually do the hike--the latter Multnomah-Wakeena thing--simply for training, and because it's the closest hike with any elevation or distance from Portland. Some times a man needs some quick, down and dirty exercise. There are so many superior hikes in the Columbia Gorge, and I implore you to hike them instead of this one. If you like to keep it flat, do the Eagle Creek Trail. If you like elevation and views, try Dog Mountain, Ruckle Ridge, Ruckle Creek, Hamilton Mountain, Mt. Defiance, or the extremely popular (and thus sometimes over populated) Angel's Rest.

We arrived at 9:15am on a weekday so the crowds were small and the weather cool and comfortable. We did the Multnomah Wahkeena falls loop which was about 5.5 miles.

Lots of switchbacks but overall I'd rate the trail medium in difficulty. We ran into a few people along the way but it was not very crowded. The paths to both the falls are paved (but steep).

We loved that most of the trail is shaded by trees, though enough sun still comes through that sunscreen is recommended. Definitely bring water. One of the coolest parts is that you can go up behind the waterfall, but be prepared to climb rocks to get there--it's not an easy walk-up-and-around situation. The hike is about 3.5-3.6 miles. There were a decent number of people there, but it never felt overwhelmingly crowded. Amenities include restrooms, picnic tables, an information kiosk, and dogs are allowed on leash.

The trail itself is pretty narrow at times, we had to pull off often to let others through from the opposite direction. The environment is lovely, beautiful trees and the wonderful sounds of rushing water. When you approach the falls it's pretty jaw-dropping. From a distance, peeking through the trees the anticipation of what's coming is energizing. Once you arrive there are large boulders and layers to climb around to get different views (warning, some spots slippery). Although you can't possibly see the top areas of the falls fully, what you get to see is simply gorgeous. A beautiful pool and forest surroundings, along with a waterfall of spectacular height with a plethora of refreshing spray...what more could you want?! I've taken in quite a few falls in the area and so far this one takes the cake. Definitely worth a trek to see in person, as pictures do not do it justice. Would LOVE to see this hike and falls snow-covered too!
