Silver Falls drops about 259 feet over a sheer cliff on Silver Creek in the Golden and Silver Falls State Natural Area east of Coos Bay. It is among the tallest waterfalls in the Oregon Coast Range and is distinct from the better-known Silver Falls State Park near Silverton.
Its 259 ft drop is taller than about 91% of the 775 waterfalls we track.
Its water comes from Silver 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 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.
