Two volunteers appear to be planting or restoring native vegetation on the grounds outside the South Falls Café at Silver Falls State Park

Lower South Falls

  • 93 feet tall
  • Walk-behind 
  • Located on South Fork Silver Creek about a mile from South Falls on the Canyon Trail
  • Water spreads over a flat basalt ledge, creating a wide sheet of water year-round
  • Visiting in the Fall? Find a dry Big Leaf Maple leaf, toss it gently behind the waterfall in just the right spot and watch your leaf hover “magically” in mid air.
