Lewis Creek Trail Map

Map Notes: The trail to Red Rock Falls skirts along the banks of Lewis Creek for most of its route, though it climbs a hundred feet or so above it for the last stretch. The much shorter route to Corlieu Falls starts well above the river and includes a modestly sketchy scramble down the bank to get to the pool below the upper falls.

Though the trails feel isolated, they're never far from Highway 41, and you may hear traffic at various points along the way.

The trail continues north past Red Rock Falls to Sugar Pine, a private housing development. Maybe my timing was bad and I was there after a series of robberies, carjackings, and alien abductions, but the one time I hiked all the way to Sugar Pine and wandered through it, I got more "you'd better keep walking, stranger" stares from the locals than I have in all the rest of my life put together.
