Salt Creek Falls

Salt Creek Falls is the second-highest waterfall in Oregon at 286 feet high. The trail to the falls is easy to follow and the photographic opportunities are fantastic. There are unique native plants that are worth the time to study. In spring, native flowers are in bloom, turning to warm autumn colors in the fall. In the winter part of the park is open to cross-country skiing.
