The falls are at the end of the road that goes past the Olallie State Park ranger headquarters.[1] From the gravel parking lot, there is a paved accessible overlook to see the falls and a small area around the hydro-electric plant. Also, there is a 1/4 mile accessible interpretive trail nearby.[2] Weeks Falls has a small hydroelectric plant operated by CHI West which generates about 4.3 Megawatts peak.[3] It's unusual because it operates without a dam. Instead, water is being drawn from the river above the falls and run down an underground channel to the generation unit at the bottom of Weeks falls.
