Golden Falls plunges about 254 feet over a sheer rock cliff on Glenn Creek in the remote Golden and Silver Falls State Natural Area east of Coos Bay. It is one of the tallest waterfalls in the Oregon Coast Range.
Its 254 ft drop is taller than about 91% of the 775 waterfalls we track.
The falls are fed by Glenn Creek. It lies in Coos, Oregon. The site is on public land managed by Oregon State Parks.
This is a short hike waterfall: reached by a short trail, generally under about a mile each way. The walk in is brief — comfortable shoes are usually all you need. The walk to the main viewpoint runs about 1.4 miles round trip. The nearest town is Coos Bay.
When to go: Spring. Water volume swings with the seasons here, strongest after snowmelt or rain and lowest in late summer, so check recent streamflow before you go.
