Silver Falls State Park

With ten magical waterfalls, Silver Falls State Park is an outdoor enthusiast’s dream come true. Located just a short drive from Silverton, the park is one of Oregon’s most scenic outdoor destinations, with towering forests, clear streams, moss-covered trails, and dramatic waterfalls tucked throughout the landscape.

The park is best known for the Trail of Ten Falls, a spectacular hiking route that winds through a lush canyon and passes all ten of the park’s waterfalls. Along the way, several sections of the trail lead behind cascading falls, offering a perspective you won’t find on a typical waterfall hike. South Falls, one of the park’s most recognizable landmarks, plunges 177 feet into the canyon below.

Beyond its famous waterfalls, Silver Falls State Park offers plenty of ways to spend time outdoors. Visitors can explore miles of hiking and biking trails, go horseback riding, enjoy a picnic surrounded by Douglas firs, or watch for wildlife throughout the forest. Fishing and nature viewing also make it easy to slow down and enjoy the peaceful surroundings.

Whether you’re planning a full day on the trails or simply want to see one of Oregon’s iconic waterfalls, Silver Falls State Park makes an easy addition to a visit to Silverton and the surrounding Willamette Valley.
