Trail of Ten Falls and South Falls

This route, located in Silver Falls State Park, is a hidden gem for discovering the grandeur of waterfalls. While not as well-known or visible as some other waterfalls in Oregon, hikers will be pleasantly pleased when they visit. Hikers follow the nationally known hiking track through wooded glens and through ten magnificent waterfalls. The South Falls waterfall, with its 170-foot cascade of water, allows hikers to go behind it and get a different perspective.

The route winds its way through a canyon to a brook at the base of a natural forest. The trek is more than 7 kilometers long and moderately strenuous. Hikers should have some experience before venturing into this region. If they are new to hiking, they will need adequate equipment as well as physical skills. Pets are only permitted on some paths, and children must be supervised at all times. Nature and wildlife should be respected, thus sticking on the track are crucial. The beauty of these waterfalls, as well as the scenery and fauna that surrounds them, make them an ideal first stop for anybody visiting Oregon.
