Toketee Falls

A short climb takes tourists to one of the most picturesque vistas in the whole state, hidden deep within the Umpqua National Forest. At first view, it appears like a waterfall is gushing from a gigantic, petrified tree. This basalt rock, in reality, is the consequence of ancient volcanic activity. The columnar basalt frame provides Toketee Falls with a distinct hue and texture, making it a photographer's delight. In the fall, golden yellow leaves lend a touch of magic to the generally green countryside.

The Toketee Falls trailhead has a wide parking space. The higher viewpoint of Toketee Falls is pretty flat.8-mile hike through the forest from here. You'll notice a steep, unapproved route leading down the slope to the base of the waterfall from the overlook. This unkempt walkway is poorly maintained and might be hazardous, especially when rainy.
