This listing's coordinates match Knob Falls, a 15-foot vertical drop where the Rogue River squeezes through a basalt chasm at a sharp bend. From the Natural Bridge day use area, a paved trail leaves the parking lot and crosses a bridge over the Rogue River below the Natural Bridge. Follow the Upper Rogue River Trail #1034 downstream (signed for Woodruff Bridge) to the obvious rock knob where the river bends 180 degrees; a path follows the promontory to the falls. Return the same way.
