Falls Creek State
Recreation Area
Fall Creek Reservoir is
a prime recreation area surrounded by day-use parks and a
campground.
Cascara campground, on the south shore near the point where
Fall Creek enters the lake, is tucked away amid towering
Douglas fir trees. The 47 primitive campsites are great for
tenters who remember that there are times when "roughing it"
means just that. Every site comes equipped with a fire ring
and picnic table. The campground has a swimming area, complete
with a deck, and boat ramp. The campground is open May 1 to
September 30.
Looking for a place to camp with your group? A reservable RV
group camp, Fisherman's Point, is just across the road from
Cascara campground.
And if you want to get out on the reservoir, check out one of
the five day-use areas. Winberry, with its two-lane boat ramp
and parking for more than 100 cars and 150 boat trailers, is
the largest. It's also the only one to charge a day-use fee
($3 per day or buy a 12-month permit for $25, or a 24-month
permit for $40. These
1-
and 2-year permits are good at all state park day-use
areas). The site is open May 1 to September 30 and has flush
toilets.
There are four other day-use sites. Three offer primitive boat
ramps. The North Shore site has a low-water ramp, vault
toilets and is open year-round. The others are open May 1 to
September 30.
