Beautiful waterfalls characterize the Alsea Falls Recreation area. Visitors can hike or mountain bike on many miles of trails through second growth forests. The site also features a picnic area and campground (fees apply).
The Buck Horn trail switchbacks up the north side of the Alsea River valley, connecting the South Fork Mile Trail to the Big Fir Trail. The Side Winder-Big Fir-Buck Horn-South Fork Mile loop is a good hike option from either the recreation area or campground trailheads.
