| DIRECTIONS - Take I-5 to the Lake McMurray Exit just south of Mt. Vernon. Head east for around 1 mile and turn left onto Bulson Road. The road will turn to the right twice and eventually end. Park at the end of the pavement and walk south along the dirt road which quickly turns into a trail. Stay on this rather obscure trail until it reaches the creek and then head upstream/east to the falls. | |

Bulson
Creek Falls is one of the closest falls to I-5 that I know of at about a mile as the
trumpeter swan flies (there are thousands of swans in the immediate area during the
winter). If you can catch this falls at a high water level, it is very impressive,
dropping about 50' over a sandstone ledge before flowing through a beautiful little
gorge. There are a good number of houses around the falls, but they can't really be
seen from the creek so it doesn't detract from the experience at all. At lower
volume the falls lose much of their gusto but remain pretty. It's possible the creek
runs dry late in the summer but I doubt it.
