GPS N44º 23.857', W122º 28.839', Elevation above sea level 850 ft.

Directions:
  1. Southbound I-5: Exit onto Hwy 20 at Albany and head east. You will
    pass through Lebanon and Sweethome.
  2. Northbound I-5: Exit onto Hwy 34 and head east. Upon reaching Lebanon
    follow all signs showing "Hwy 20", "Sweethome".
  3. Half mile past milepost 41 on Hwy 20 turn left into Cascadia Park (cross over a bridge)
  4. After parking walk back towards the bridge and walk along the east side of the bridge.
    Dobbin Creek Falls flows north and drains into South Santiam River on the south side of the river.
The few times I've been here I've never seen this waterfall before. Just happened to glance
past the bridge and noticed a significant flow this time. Therefore, I believe the flow is seasonal.
Check out that huge dome of rock in the middle of the falls!

Lower Soda Falls is accessible from the East Picnic Area.
