A GUIDE TO THE UMPQUA NATIONAL FOREST WATERFALLS IN OREGON

The Umpqua National Forest is located on the western slopes of the Cascade Mountains in southwest Oregon. It’s just over an hour east of Eugene, nearly three hours south east of Portland, and under two hours south west of Bend.

Umpqua National Forest

This beautifully diverse, region of Oregon was created thousands of years ago by powerful, geologic activity. You’ll find tumbling waterfalls, lush forest vegetation, rushing rapids and alpine lakes. This is the place to come for outdoor adventure and natural respite.

Watson Falls Trail

I really enjoyed this easy one mile hike to the viewing area of the 293 foot Watson Falls. It is the third tallest waterfall in the state and thunders over a craggy cliffside surrounded by a lush forest of Douglas-firs and moss covered boulders at its base.

Toketee Falls Trail

Toketee Falls had a lush, tropical beauty that reminded me of Hawaii. It’s one of the best waterfalls I saw in Oregon including Multnomah Falls. It’s an easy 0.6 mile trail to the lookout point to see this two-tiered waterfall thundering into the pools below.

Umpqua Natural Hot Spring

Water seeps through an active fault, resulting in temperatures of 100 to 115 degrees. From the tub, there is a view of Surprise Falls across the North Umpqua Wild and Scenic River.

Oregon is a very raw and unfiltered state, so families be warned, many people will be nude at these hot springs. I don’t have a problem with this at all. Savannah thought it was hilarious and Kalyra was put off and begged me not to strip off. No chance honey!
