At 286 ft, Salt Creek Falls is one of the taller waterfalls in Oregon — a plunge waterfall worth seeking out.
Its water comes from Salt Creek. It lies in Lane, Oregon. The site is on public land managed by Willamette National Forest (USFS).
This is a roadside waterfall: visible from a road, parking area, or a walk of a few hundred feet. The walk to the main viewpoint runs about 0.2 miles round trip. The nearest town is Oakridge.
When to go: Late spring snowmelt (May-Jun). Like most waterfalls, Salt Creek 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.
