Facility Overview
Moulton Falls Regional Park features two designated public parking areas located along NE Lucia Falls Road in Yacolt, Washington. These lots serve as the primary access points for the park\'s scenic hiking trails, river access, and the famous wooden arched bridge. The main parking area provides immediate access to the falls, while an additional overflow lot is available nearby to accommodate higher visitor volume.
Access and Navigation
The facility is designed for standard passenger vehicles. Visitors should note the following:
- Parking is restricted to designated stalls only; roadside parking is strictly prohibited and enforced to maintain road safety.
- The lots are unpaved and can reach capacity quickly, especially during weekends and peak summer months.
- If both the main and overflow lots at the primary park entrance are full, visitors are encouraged to utilize the Hantwick Road Trailhead, though this requires a 2.5-mile hike to reach the river access area.
Pricing and Operations
Parking at Moulton Falls Regional Park is provided free of charge to the public. There are no booking requirements, as all spots are available on a first-come, first-served basis. It is highly recommended to arrive early in the morning to secure a spot during high-traffic periods.
Amenities and Site Rules
The facility includes basic amenities to support outdoor recreation:
- Designated accessible parking stalls for disabled visitors.
- Restroom facilities located on-site.
- Access to picnic tables and barbecue grills.
Strategic Alternatives
If the main parking lots at Moulton Falls are at capacity, visitors should avoid illegal parking on the shoulder of NE Lucia Falls Road. Alternative recreation areas in Clark County, such as Lewisville Regional Park, Battle Ground Lake State Park, and Daybreak Regional Park, serve as excellent nearby alternatives for those seeking water access and outdoor trails.
