Description
Salt Creek Falls is Oregon's second highest single drop waterfall, as it cascades 286 feet. Visitors can climb up to the observation platform at the top of the waterfall - 50 yards from the parking lot. The platform is wheelchair-accessible with railings that accommodate wheelchair sight-lines, but the trail towards it is not wheelchair-accessible due to numerous stairs.
There's a loop gravel trail (Salt Creek Falls Trail #3673) with interpretive signs that offers a short hike with multiple vantage points along the canyon rim. To access the viewpoint, visitors can park at the Salt Creek Sno-Park and walk 0.4 miles along the road to the falls.

286 ft falls, 2nd huggest in Oregon. Only short easy walk from parking area. Pets allowed on leash. Also connects to many hiking trails and a walk decending down the falls with great views. Very powerful during snow melt
