Hiking

A wonderful little wooden bridge carries you over the confluence of North Fork Silver Creek and one of its tributaries. There are a couple small waterfalls here, and the short Double Falls Trail by the bridge is well worth the detour.

Lower North Falls and Double Falls via Canyon Trail

Embark on an easy hike along the Lower North Falls and Double Falls via Canyon Trail, a 2.6-mile (4.2 km) route that guides you through a rocky canyon. You will experience the lush old-growth forest, filled with towering Douglas Firs and vibrant ferns, as the path meanders beside a winding creek. This journey, which involves a gentle 115-foot (35 metres) elevation gain, leads you to the impressive Lower North Falls and the majestic 178-foot Double Falls, taking approximately 1 hour and 9 minutes to complete.

Planning your visit to this trail is straightforward, as it remains accessible throughout the year. For the most spectacular views of the waterfalls, consider hiking in spring when the water flow is at its peak. Be mindful that certain sections feature steep stairs, which can become slippery or icy during colder, wetter weather. It is important to note that pets are not allowed on the Canyon Trail due to some narrow passages, ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience for all hikers.

What truly sets this trail apart is the unique opportunity to walk directly behind North Falls, offering an immersive perspective of the cascading water. This distinctive feature, combined with the serene canyon environment and the presence of two significant waterfalls, makes the route a memorable experience within Silver Falls State Park. The trail provides a wonderful way to connect with nature and witness the powerful beauty of these natural landmarks up close.
