North Fork Falls
About
North Fork Falls is a waterfall in Clatsop County, Oregon, sitting at about 327 feet of elevation. The nearest town is Nehalem, roughly 9 miles away. Summer is the most comfortable and driest time to visit. Typical averages from the nearby Seaside weather station show July and August highs in the mid-60s with about seven wet days a month, while December and January bring around 21 to 22 wet days. That station sits near sea level, so temperatures at the falls run a little cooler. Several creeks lie close by. Gods Valley Creek is about 2 miles away and Soapstone Creek is just beyond it. For hiking, Angora Peak Trail is about 8 miles off, and the Nehalem River Dike Trail is near 10 miles.
