and now we are at Susan Creek Falls picnic next to the North Umpqua River. Susan Creek is on the western edge of the Cascade Mountains, set along the famous North Umpqua River. You will be treated to sounds of the rushing river as it weaves its way through volcanic bedrock. Majestic fir, cedar, and hemlock trees dominate the mountainous region. The Susan Creek Falls hike is just across the road behind us.
