Description

Middle North Falls is one of the most majestic waterfalls in Silver Falls State Park. In many ways, it's similar to Lower South Falls. The water cascades from a wide sheet about 100 feet into a large basin. Centuries of erosion have opened a large grotto behind the waterfall and a trail has been constructed through the grotto. The Middle North Falls Trail is sometimes closed to do danger of falling objects.
