The Walking Bridge on the East
Fork of the Lewis River
Moulton Falls Regional Park is a 325 acre park located in forested lands at the confluence of the East Fork of the Lewis River and Big Tree Creek. Several trails start in the park including Lucia Falls-Moulton Falls Trail and Bells Mountain Trail. There are many small waterfalls and rapids along the trail and much wildlife.

The 10K route started in the upper parking lot area
and went past the restrooms then along the Lucia Falls – Moulton Falls Trail, a
level compacted gravel trail, to the Trailhead at Hantwick Road then returning
to the restrooms for about 9 km. The route crossed NE Lucia Falls Road
and used a narrow dirt nature trail to the falls on Big Tree Creek before
returning to the start/finish area. The last 1K was difficult for strollers because
of the dirt trail with roots and other natural hazards including many steps with
one very high step.
