Introduction

Cedar Creek Falls used to be a popular destination for cliff jumpers until a fatality in 2011 prompted the Forest Service to make new rules.

Approach

Hike down the Cedar Creek falls trail, but branch off on a side trail to get to the top of the falls

Descent

Find an anchor and rig a rope, rappel 90' to a cold, deep pool at the bottom that will require swimming.

Exit

If you left the rope in place, climb back up on the west side to go back along the trail that you used to get there. Otherwise you can hike out using the standard Cedar Creek Falls trail. 

Red tape

The pool beneath the falls is now open only to permit holders. Permits are limited to 75 per day and cost $6. The area directly above Cedar Creek Falls is closed under a separate order and its closure prevents a canyoneering descent of this waterfall.
