Sheep Creek Falls
Rating: ****
Form: fan
Magnitude: 63 (h)
Access: trail (page 150)
USGS Map: Northport (1992)
Update: Here is a revised access to this cataract. Drive 3.0 miles beyond Northport along SR 25. Note your odometer reading when you first begin to cross the Columbia River proceeding northward. Depart the highway upon the unsigned dirt road to your left. Proceed right, going down the road for 0.2 miles, then turn left and cross the bridge over Sheep Creek. Park in a safe spot in the open area, where you can see a canal. Walk a short distance along the road to your left where you will quickly arrive atop a small gorge. You will see a wooden tram platform to your left; don't go there, only admire it from a distance. Turn right, away from the creek, where a trail switchbacks 0.2 miles down to the base of the falls next to a small hydro plant at the bottom of the tram. This is private property, so be respectful so others may follow.
