Lower South Falls drops 93 feet in Silver Falls State Park and is one of four falls in the park where the Canyon Trail passes behind the falling water. It lies about a mile past South Falls along the Trail of Ten Falls.
Its 93 ft drop is taller than about 68% of the 775 waterfalls we track.
The falls are fed by South Fork Silver Creek. It lies in Marion, Oregon. The site is on public land managed by Oregon State Parks.
This is a moderate hike waterfall: a longer day hike, roughly one to several miles each way. Reaching it takes a moderate walk, so budget time and pack water before you set out. The nearest town is Silverton.
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.
