Hunt Creek Falls is another one of Mother Nature's
gifts to the Priest Lake area. This beautiful falls is located in
a secluded ravine and is surrounded by large moss covered granite
boulders. It is a magical setting that attracts those who truly appreciate
the natural wonders of water, rock and flora intertwined in an idyllic
setting.
Hunt
Creek Falls is a short drive and hike off the East Lakeshore Road approximately
4 miles north of Coolin. From Coolin, travel on the Cavanaugh Bay/East
Lakeshore Road to Forest Road #23 (Just prior to Mile Post 4 and immediately
south of the Hunt Creek bridge). Turn right onto Road #23 and travel .2
miles uphill to an unmarked intersection (IDL Endowment Lands sign is located
at the intersection). Turn left onto the unimproved forest road. Proceed
on this road for approximately .15 miles to an open area in the forest.
Park in this area and hike the 500 yards down the same road to the falls.
An alternative to parking in this area is to continue on the unimproved
forest road towards the falls until the road narrows to a point where your
vehicle cannot proceed. However, if other vehicles are in the area where
the road narrows, it will be very difficult to turn around.
