About This Waterfall

Located near Oakridge, off Salmon Creek Road. At the east end of Oakridge, turn left onto Fish Hatchery Road and follow it for 1-½ miles to Salmon Creek Road. Turn right and proceed 3 ¾ miles to Salmon Creek Falls Campground. The falls are found at the south end of the campground.Salmon Falls is a wide, moderately high volume waterfall of about 8 feet in height along Salmon Creek, just outside of Oakridge. The falls occur where Salmon Creek intersects a broad sloping shelf of basalt and splits around a small promontory in two sliding segments, one side being markedly steeper than the other. The falls are found within a small campground and can most likely be accessed all year long.
