Grotto Falls Dispersed Area Umpqua Nat Forest/North Umpqua Dist

At the trailhead of the Grotto Falls Trail, this small dispersed area has a fire pit and vault toilet. Water is available from Emile Creek or Grotto Falls. This is primarily a day use area, but camping is permitted for small groups. Coolwater Campground is 5 miles away. This site is good for hiking, photography, wildlife observation, and nature study. A word of caution: Emile Creek is a rugged rock cliff area and off trail exploration should be done with caution. Your best bet is to stay on the trails.
