Rewarding Autumn Hike
The Mima Falls trail-head is off Bordeau Rd. From the parking lot, the trail is well marked. The first half mile or so is through replanted forest so there are many signs of a logging operation and 5 year old fir. The trail is well maintained and suitable for hikers of just about any age - even toddlers. Bikes and horses share the trail, but everyone is courteous. At the road bear right , cross the road and take the trail to the left. Shortly after this the trail goes into a more mature forest for about a mile. There is a newly refurbished bridge coming up around the mile mark. The trail continue to more on through older forest and if you know what to look for there are signs of a really old logging operation. When you come to a merging of trails, you have a little more than a half mile to go. Cross a second bridge and it is just over a quarter mile to the falls. When you get to the falls, you can hear it,but not see it. There are a number of social trails down the bank, but go down carefully if you want to get to the base of the falls. You can get to about the same place from the other side if you cross the bridge and again look for the social trail down the bank.. Even after a dry, hot summer, the waterfall continues to flow. Nice reward for a great time spend in a walk through the woods.

Beautiful park
I really enjoyed going to Tumwater falls if it's too : Go on a walk with my family and dog, have a picnic, play around, take nice photos or even enjoy the nature, it is all there at Tumwater falls.
