Foster Falls is a 60-foot waterfall on Little Gizzard Creek at the south end of the Fiery Gizzard Trail in Fiery Gizzard State Park. A viewing platform close to the parking area gives a view of the falls from a distance. A short, steep trail descends from near the platform and crosses a suspension bridge to the base, where the falls plunge into a deep pool. A third viewpoint is across the river on the Fiery Gizzard Trail; it has no fence or barrier at a drop of more than 60 feet. Horsehair Falls, a separate listing, is visible from that viewpoint.
