Salt Creek Falls – Day 7

by Thesa Chambers, Broker on March 1, 2010

One of my favorite spots in Central Oregon is Salt Creek Falls.  Salt Creek Falls is the second highest waterfall in Oregon.  Measuring 268 feet high and averaging 50,000 gallons of water a minute the site is spectacular.  Years ago to view the falls you had to park on the side of Highway 58 and hike to the observation point. Today, Salt Creek Falls is a rest stop and snow park with great paved parking, flushing potties and picnic areas.

This park was designed for all ages and abilities.  There are paved handicap paths with ramps to take to you to the top of the falls or more rugged paths with old stone and stairs.  As you come to the end of the improved area the trail to the bottom of the waterfall is still in place.
