Located in Douglas Falls Grange Park, Douglas Falls is a scenic and beautiful place along Mill Creek. In order to get to the falls, you go to the Park and do the Nature Loop.There's a bridge above the creek, so you would have to walk until you see the Nature Loop sign; to find the sign, look for trees surrounding the sign and start the trail from there. There's another trail called the spur trail but don't follow it; if you do, this trail will lead you to the edge of public property. You have the option of hiking to the falls clockwise or counter-clockwise; if you take the clockwise route, then it will lead you closer to the falls. If you hike the counter-clockwise loop and come to what looks like an unmarked intersection, this is the point where the true loop starts climbing, so stay left here; there will be a suspended footbridge over the creek along the loop. But again, it's not close enough to the waterfall to see it from the bridge but if you hike clockwise, just cross the bridge and turn right to hike the double back for the view.
