Salt Creek Falls, Oakridge

Well... After turning left at the first fork and driving past the "snow day use area" and winding around on gravel roads for awhile. Our group went back and turned right staying on the paved road and enjoyed stopping here. There is a nice parking lot. The main bathrooms are closed, but they have clean porta potties. There is a historic display (for those interested in the details). The walk to the falls is paved and wheelchair accessable, although there are some sections that aren't wheel chair accessible and the stairs are a bit "rustic". As a safety note for those with small children, there are parts along the wall a wiggly kid could slip and fall. This view pont isn't for those afraid of heights, the view is stunning! There is a trail head here for those who enjoy hiking. For the adventurous who decide to drive on the gravel roads they get a bit rough and one road leads up to the railroad tracks (lots of metal in the road at that point) another road crosses a narrow bridge over the water.

Second Tallest Waterfall in Oregon, Moderate Hiking Trail, that almost takes you to the base of the falls At the top of the falls its Wheelchair Acceptable. The Forestry Dept as done alot of Work on the trail going down new posts and chain rails Its worth Visiting You need the forest pass or the fee is $5.00 But its worth it the Fall is amazing There is also another trail there called Diamond Creek If your in the area stop by and check it out

Beautiful waterfall and hiking place. A very peaceful and pleasant walk for about a mile around this park with perfect scenery. A lot of places to meditate, read a book or have a piknik with barbecue. Gorgeous views!!

I love coming to this place. I wanted to go hike the Diamond Creek Falls trail but it was closed due to the wildfires. So I went and hiked down the trail to Salt Creek Falls instead. Going down the trail isn't too bad... however going back up is a bit more exerting. But the view from the bottom of the trail is so worth it. There's ways to get even closer to the falls if you're feeling adventurous enough to try them.

I did so much research before picking these falls to go to and I’m so glad I picked Salt Creek Falls. It’s Oregon’s second tallest waterfall! Very cool lookout looking down at the falls. Short hike down to get close to the base. Expect to get misted on, it’s a powerful waterfall. We went May 2021.
