Hidden away in the Coast Range forest, Falls City was named for Little Luckiamute Falls, a cascade in the city center.
This Willamette Valley community started life as a mill town. Today visitors can delve into the forest with a hike through old growth at Valley of the Giants or with a rip on the Blackrock Mountain Bike Association’s trails. Browse antique shops, tip a pint at the pub and savor the goods at the artisan bakery.
