Winter Falls drops about 134 feet on Winter Creek in Silver Falls State Park and, as its name implies, flows strongest during the wet season. It anchors the Winter Falls Loop, a shorter alternative to the full Trail of Ten Falls.
Its 134 ft drop is taller than about 80% of the 775 waterfalls we track.
Its water comes from Winter 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: Winter. Water volume swings with the seasons here, strongest after snowmelt or rain and lowest in late summer, so check recent streamflow before you go.
