Oregon State Parks: Silver Falls State Park

Twin Falls drops about 31 feet on the North Fork Silver Creek, often split in two by a large block of rock. From the Winter Falls Trailhead, take the Winter Trail down past Winter Falls to the bridge over the North Fork and the Canyon Trail junction. Turn right (upstream) on the Canyon Trail. A short loop off the trail leads to a side view of the falls. Trees hem in most views, and in dry summers only one channel flows and can be hard to see. Return the same way.
