Paulina Falls drops 80 ft (24 m) as a segmented waterfall in Oregon.

The falls are fed by Paulina Creek. You'll find it in Deschutes, Oregon. It is protected within USDA Forest Service (Deschutes National Forest, Newberry National Volcanic Monument).

This is a short hike waterfall: reached by a short trail, generally under about a mile each way. The walk to the main viewpoint runs about 0.7 miles round trip. Base a visit out of La Pine, the closest town.

When to go: Late spring through fall (snowbound in winter). Like most waterfalls, Paulina Falls runs highest after snowmelt or heavy rain and can thin out in late summer, so it's worth checking recent streamflow and the land manager's conditions page before a long drive.
