Double Falls is a stunning waterfall located in Silver Falls State Park in Oregon. This beautiful park is found near the city of Salem, in Marion County. It sits in the western foothills where the Mount Hood National Forest meets the Middle Santiam Wilderness. Silver Falls State Park is famous for its many waterfalls, including South Falls, Drake Falls, Middle North Falls, and Winter Falls, all found along the popular Trail of Ten Falls.
Exploring Double Falls: A Tall Wonder
Double Falls is the tallest waterfall you'll find in all of Silver Falls State Park. Imagine water dropping from a height of 184 ft (56 m)! That's like falling from a 15-story building! This impressive waterfall is a highlight for anyone hiking the famous Trail of Ten Falls.
Where to Find Double Falls on the Trail
You can easily reach Double Falls by following the Canyon Trail, which is part of the larger Trail of Ten Falls. It's just a short walk from another beautiful waterfall called Lower North Falls. While many waterfalls in the park are fed by Silver Creek, Double Falls gets its water from a different source: Hullt Creek. This smaller creek joins the North Fork Silver Creek nearby, adding to the park's amazing network of waterways.
