MINER CREEK FALLS
DIRECTIONS - Head north of Brookings along Highway 101 to Samuel H. Boardman State Park. Just north of Wilderness Drive is a turnout. Park there and follow the trail down to Secret Beach. The falls can be seen from the trail, but a short bushwhack is required to get a clear view. | |

NEARBY WATERFALLS - Secret Beach Falls | Miner Creek Falls is the upstream brother of Secret Beach Falls. Miner Creek drops over a 30' falls into a little pool at the base. The falls have the unusual characteristic of getting skinnier as they drop. The area around the creek is full of lush moss and ferns and is said to be quite lovely. Thanks to my brother for finding this one and sending me the pictures. |
