About Logy Creek Falls
Tucked into the forested hills of the Yakama Nation Reservation, Logy Creek Falls is a peaceful, lesser-known cascade that rewards visitors with dappled light, mossy banks, and the steady rush of water. The site sits on tribal land (land owner: DESG) and is managed by the reservation’s tribal authorities (TRIB), so visitors should be mindful and follow local guidelines while enjoying the setting. Because it receives fewer visitors than more famous falls, Logy Creek Falls is a great choice for hikers seeking a quieter, reflective nature stop. The approach is intimate and creekside, with viewpoints that bring you close to the falls’ drop and the surrounding old-growth feel. This is a spot to linger, listen, and photograph — and to leave the area as you found it. Nearby camping information is not specified for this site, so plan logistics ahead of time and respect any access rules on the reservation.
Trail Description
The trail to Logy Creek Falls is an approximately 2.0-mile out-and-back with about 300 feet of elevation gain and is rated moderate. The route follows the creek through dense forest; the tread can be uneven and narrow in places, with some short sections requiring careful footing. Expect a natural forest path with creekside views and the steady sound of flowing water for much of the hike. There is no USFS trail number provided for this route; visitors should prepare for typical backcountry footing and check access guidelines for the Yakama Nation Reservation before setting out.
