Cedar Mill Falls — Attraction in Beaverton

Assuming you intend to stay on the path, this is a very quick visit: a couple hundred feet of well maintained boardwalk just off Cornell terminating in a view of a surprisingly impressive suburban waterfall. (We parked in the corner of a nearby church lot.) There are highly unofficial off road paths branching off from there, including one to the top of the falls that my 40-something, not very athletic self handled with no real trouble. The tween and teens loved it. I intend to go back with just my husband and take the paved loop between Johnson Creek and Cedar Mills creek. Looks to be a couple of miles of low...

There is a nice boardwalk to an observation deck to look over the falls. There are benches to sit on. There are two falls. One was hard to see because of trees. I was expecting less and was pleasantly surprised! We parked in the church parking lot and walked across the grass behind the blue house to the boardwalk entrance. It's not a very far walk and I used my walker. I had no idea these waterfalls were there and would have been a regular visitor...

i went at night so my photos were rather boring. only because the camera couldn't capture everything lit up in the moonlight. really cool to check out if you are in the area. do NOT bring small children if you plan to get a closer look it would endanger you both. it's next to the road, a literal step down into an abyss for me through trees but a really nice view. surrounded by apartments but nobody had an issue with us...
