Upper Proxy Falls is one of the two waterfall views on this forest and lava-field loop.

Plan your visit

Use Proxy Falls Trail #3532 from the signed Highway 242 trailhead. The loop provides views of both upper and lower falls; return around the loop.

Travel Lane County describes 1.5 miles for the loop visiting both falls, not the distance to Upper Proxy Falls alone.

Dirt and lava rock; not an accessible trail. Stay on the viewing trail.

Where to start

Use roadside pullouts at the signed Proxy Falls Trail #3532 start on Highway 242. Published sources disagree on road mileage from Highway 126; use the signed start and current road guidance.

Timing & water

Highway 242 closes for snow, typically November–June. Confirm current road access.
