Known as the "crown jewel" of the Or. State Parks and once you visit you'll know why. Where else can you walk behind a waterfall? Check out South Falls with a 177 foot curtain of water from behind. It's part of the Trail of Ten Falls which is considered a moderate hike, with an overall elevation change of 800 feet. One of our favorite places to take friends and family who come to visit no matter what time of year. The South entrance is 24 miles from our location.
