Hike
The Beaver Falls Trail is one of these rare spots for an outing in Columbia County. On the way, you can also visit Upper Beaver Falls, not spectacular, but a very pretty roadside attraction. As you drive down the bypassed section of old Highway 30 that is now called Beaver Falls Road, you will pass over several historic bridges that date to when the original road was completed in 1918. Columbia County has also maintained historic wood guardrails along the Beaver Creek canyon section of the road, similar to the restored guardrails in the Columbia River Gorge.Courtesy of oregonhikers.org
