Waterfalls

The Brice Creek corridor is a scenic, rocky canyon with numerous small waterfalls and pools in the creek. The .3 mile (.5 km) wheelchair-accessible trail from Cedar Campground is rated moderately difficult for wheelchairs and easy for hikers.

Fan shaped Diamond Creek falls drops 70-90 feet (21-27 m) and tiered Lower Falls drops 200-500 feet (61-76 m). To view the falls follow Diamond Creek Falls Trail #3598 from the Salt Creek Falls Observation Site.

80-90 foot (24-27 m) twin waterfalls spilling over a cliff surrounded by Douglas fir and Western Hemlock. From Hwy 126, approximately 12.5 miles (20.1 km) east of Mapleton, turn south onto county road 4390 (Siuslaw River Road). Drive 1.5 miles (2.4 km) and bear right across the bridge. In 1.5 miles (2.4 km) turn left uphill onto Dunn Ridge Road. Travel 6.9 miles (11.1 km) bearing left at the end of the pavement. Bear right at the three-way intersection. In 2.7 miles (4.3 km) turn right onto Forest Service Road 919. Follow signs to the trailhead, which is within 2.5 miles (4 km).

Falls 80-120 feet (24-37 m) over an abrupt lava cap to the waiting pool below. Take Highway 126, turn left at Ice Cap Campground, then to a small parking area.

Day Use Fee Area/Northwest Forest Pass. A true sense of deep-forest solitude and mountain beauty is found at Proxy Falls. Travel along the 1+ mile (1.6 km) loop trail through open lava fields and dense forest to view two distinctly different waterfalls.

Sahalie Falls plunges 100 feet (30 m) over a lava dam and then tumbles 40 feet (12 m) in a series of cascades. The Sahalie Falls viewpoint is wheelchair accessible. Koosah Falls, one mile (1.6 km) east by trail, drops 70 feet (21 m) into a deep pool.

ACCESSIBILITY: The paved paths manage to wind between trees so that when you poke out to view the 100 ft falls you’ll feel like you might be the first one to discover them.

Salmon Creek Falls is a small 5-10 foot (1.5-3 m) drop in the creek. The day use area makes a great spot for picnicking and kayaking. Take Highway 58 to Salmon Creek Hatchery Road at Oakridge, and then turn right on Salmon Creek Rd.

Day Use Fee Area/Northwest Forest Pass. Oregon's second-highest waterfall, Salt Creek Falls is a popular place for visitors to explore. Viewing platforms are wheelchair-accessible and allow sightseers to view the entire 286-foot (87-m) plunge of Salt Creek.

Picturesque Siuslaw Falls provides a great backdrop for a morning of fishing, a summer swim in the creek or a fall photo shoot. The park is approximately 28 miles from Eugene.

At Siuslaw bridge in Mapleton, leave Highway 126 and go south on Sweet Creek Road. A beautiful 11-mile (18-km) drive will take you to the first trailhead. Eleven waterfalls in all. Parking lots are available at each trailhead.

Enjoy this scenic 60-foot waterfall nestled in a moss-covered rock grotto surrounded by a towering old-growth forest. A moderate .6 mile (1 km) narrow, meandering trail offers a great family hike. Approximately 46 miles (74 km) south of Eugene.

The Row River has incised a few channels in the small basalt cliff creating the falls, and thusly forming 3-4 different segments. On sunny days, you'll likely see local swimmers in the deep pool below the falls.
