Description:
The Trail of Ten Falls is a breathtaking loop that winds through lush old-growth forest, leading hikers past ten stunning waterfalls, including the iconic 177-foot South Falls. Four of these waterfalls—South Falls, North Falls, Lower North Falls, and Winter Falls—offer the unique experience of walking behind the cascading waters. The trail meanders along the canyon floor, providing close-up views of the falls, and then ascends to the rim for panoramic vistas. While the trail is well-maintained, certain sections can be slippery, especially near the waterfalls.
What to Bring:
- Sturdy, waterproof hiking boots or shoes
- Trekking poles for added stability
- Water and snacks for the hike
- Camera to capture the stunning scenery
- Rain gear, as the area can be misty and wet
- Oregon State Parks Day-Use Permit or $5 fee
Note: Pets are not permitted on the Canyon Trail portion of the hike, which includes the areas around the waterfalls. However, they are allowed on other trails within the park on a leash.
