Free Meadow - Fall Creek State Recreation Area
About
Free Meadow - Fall Creek State Recreation Area is an 11-acre park in Oregon, about 5.6 miles from the town of Lowell. Its small footprint makes it a quick stop rather than a full-day destination, and a handy base for exploring the surrounding Fall Creek country. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from the nearby Lookout Pt Dam weather station show July and August highs around 80°F with only about four wet days each month. The rest of the year is far damper, with roughly 17 to 20 wet days a month from November through March. Little Fall Creek, a canoeing run about 3.3 miles away, is the closest neighbor. Dolly Varden and Broken Bowl campgrounds sit within about 4 miles, and the Lookout Point climbing area is about 5 miles off.
