A 136-foot plunge on the North Fork Silver Creek in Silver Falls State Park, where the Canyon Trail passes behind the falls through a large recessed basalt amphitheater. It is one of the ten waterfalls on the Trail of Ten Falls.
Its 136 ft drop is taller than about 81% of the 775 waterfalls we track.
North Falls sits on North Fork Silver Creek. It lies in Marion, Oregon. The site is on public land managed by Silver Falls State Park (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 7.2 miles round trip. The nearest town is Sublimity.
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.
