South Fork Falls

South Fork Falls is a small but lovely waterfall located near the end of the South Fork Tieton Road just before the Conrad Meadows Trailhead. It is accessed by a short trail that leads down from the road to the river.

You’ll find the trail at an unmarked turnout on the road. It isn’t obvious, so pay attention to a map as you are driving so you don’t miss it.

You’ll then hike the trail down to the waterfall, where the South Fork Tieton River cascades picturesquely. Accessing the river below the falls requires a short scramble but leads to a spot where one could swim.

It’s a long drive up the South Fork Tieton Road solely to visit the waterfall, so I’d recommend combining it with a longer hike at the nearby Conrad Meadows Trailhead to complete your adventure.
