Description
This trail, also shown as Trail 7 and part of the Lake to Lake Loop, is perhaps the premier attraction in the park along with the lakes. You'll be able to gain this trail shortly after the main dam off of Round Lake Path (Trail 1). The trail goes south along the eastern bank of the Lacamas Creek which can typically be seen flowing in the gorge below. Very shortly you'll find yourself above Pothole Falls. Keep going to a clearer view of the falls from a rocky clearing just down river. After this the trail will arch around a bend in the creek and through some extra-mossy trees. Round a rocky outcropping to some nice rapids in front of a cliff face. Finally the trail terminates at a bridge over Lower Falls.

Officially Closed Sign
Multiple closed signs due to a damaged bridge over one of the small creeks. Creek can still easily be crossed by hopping on a couple rocks and using what seems to be a very established detour route.
