|  Silver Falls State Park The Canyon
Trail at Silver Falls State Park, near Salem, is a nationally recognized trail system that leads hikers along
the banks of
the north and south forks of Silver Creek. It takes visitors to
10 majestic waterfalls, ranging from the grand South Falls (177 feet),
to the delicate Drake Falls (27 feet). Four of these falls have an
amphitheater-like surrounding where travelers can walk behind the falls
and
feel the misty, crisp spray.

Road Trip
| Silver Falls State Park
 60 miles south of Portland, 130 miles west of Bend, and another world away, you'll find Silver Falls State Park - a temperate rain forest nestled in the lower elevation of Oregon's Cascade Mountains. 770 kilometers of footpaths beckon you through Douglas fir, hemlock,
and cedar along the Trail of Ten Falls and Canyon Trail. Dense with
ferns, mosses, and wildflowers, the forest floor could have been pulled
out of Hobbit land.
