An amazing spot! You get 2 waterfalls in one area, which was super cool. It is way off the beaten path, about 20 miles down a long road. Luckily my girlfriend and I reserved a spot a little over a mile away from the falls so it was convenient for us to make it there. The hikes are short (10 minutes or less) to each of the falls. We went during the week and had the place to ourselves. Weekends can get a bit busier. I would definitely come back here again!
Always a great adventure. They keep this place maintained and you can tell. The new bridge definitely makes the trails more accessible to those who may not have been able to cross the creek before.
3 short hikes to Silver Falls which is not part of Silver Falls State Park, upper Kentucky Falls and lower Kentucky Falls. Even though its the middle of summer still they are still beautiful waterfalls. I cant imagine how much more fantastic it would look during high water flow!
I was there in 1988 and it was absolute wonderful! Oregonians are so lucky to have this and the oceanside too.
We took the upper trail, which the sign says about 60 minutes... we mapped our hike and it was about a mile all the way up. Yes, you are climbing up a mountain. But you can see one of the falls about halfway up. The view from the top falls is beautiful.We took our dogs and they did well. Id suggest going on very dry days because the trail is very uneven.Also, Google maps wanted us to take a road on the east side of the river. But we followed the signs instead, which was a good choice because the bridge for the other road had a locked gate across it. A lot of the road is one lane with lots of pot holes, so drive carefully.
This was beautiful. We met some volunteers Along a path that were very nice. A tree fell in middle of the road. And was impressed by the locals and visitors coming together to clear the road.
Beautiful natural area. Short uphill hike to Silver Falls but well worth the spectacular view.The trail to view Golden Falls is flatter and also worth the trek. Both hikes are not difficult.Try to pick a nice day in winter. There is more water flowing over both falls and therefore a more spectacular experience.A little more gravel on both trails would help.The drive is scenic but long.Be patient and watch for oncoming vehicles as the road narrows closer to the park.Pit toilets and picnic tables are there.
Silver falls was our favorite of the two falls. Follow the brown county signs for the Falls and stay left...do not follow Google maps directions when it tells you to go right onto Weyehouser lane or you will end up with a locked gate and have a long way to backtrack!
Beautiful waterfalls... Amazing views and great hike...
Visited the area with the family first week of the 2020 new year. Both Golden and Silver falls were beautiful sights. Short kid friendly trails and Silver falls comes with its own personal RAINBOW!
Great place. Dont trash it, plz pick up after your selves.
Took the 15 min. hike into Silver Falls at noon (on fathers day) the area was inviting & the path was pleasant. This place is animal friendly, has a few picnic tables & a restroom.
The hike to the falls is simple. I have double knee replacements and I walked all the way there. Beautiful area to picnic. Lots of shade.
Beautiful waterfalls, easy hikes! Loved it.
A beautiful place to explore! Theres so much greenery, and the trails are relatively short. A good, easy hike!
Nice little walk, fun climb at the end to the waterfall (shorter trail, not sure about the golden one)
Both of these falls are amazing and being so close to each other totally worth visiting. Ill have to revisit during the spring when there is more water flow. I would recommend bringing some gloves, they were totally helpful. You can get right underneath the falls for some perfect shots.The road to the falls is gravel but totally made it in a car. The hike was pretty easy also for kids and family.
What a great hike and beautiful water falls.
Silver falls was my favorite waterfall from our whole vacation. Fairly easy trail and not to long.
Awesome little hikes. Wear good hiking boots its slippery in spots
Tricky getting to depending on the way you come from, awesome scenery and even a very chill and isolated picnic area directly in The same area as the entrance to the location
Quick and easy hikes to 2 beautiful water falls
Very cool outdoorsy area with 2 nice waterfalls and great views. Narrow dirt road at the end to get there but its worth it. You can do all 3 hikes in not a lot of time, as they are all short.@mtrach88
Short hike to see a couple of the highest waterfalls in Oregon.
On August 30, 2017 my fiancé brought me on trip out here to the beautiful Golden and Silver falls for a hike. It was a beautiful place for him to take a knee and ask me to be his wife. It was a lovely and beautiful place for such a memory ️
Great place to explore. Fun for the whole family.
Beautiful natural place with so many green pine trees
Absolutely beautiful area. Two short hikes and one longer to the top of Golden Falls. A little slice of heaven, so please dont drive like heck through it. There are many residents along the way and the road does narrow. Stay right after you see the faded sign where the road splits and please leave no trace.
Went on a Tuesday in January. It took about 50 minutes from Hwy. 101. Dont follow Google maps...follow the signs. The trail is beautiful and easy. Gets really muddy and slippery near the falls so, be careful. The drive up is kind of sketchy so take a buddy.
Gorgeous trails and beautiful views
I loved the park and the actual falls, however Google maps tells you to take kuse rd and turn onto weyerhauser rd which is actually gated off aboit 5 or 6 miles before you reach your destination. Instead you should stay straight, but beware the road you have to take to get to this place is gravel and bumpy towards the end with tight twisting corners. Once you get to the park you can go left for silver falls, which is a very short walk or right for the 2 golden falls trails. The golden falls trails split after the little bridge; the right trail is the lower trail and the left is the upper trail. I only chose the lower trail for this quick visit and you cant get close to the falls very easy without climbing over very large boulders, but it looked as if the upper trail lead to a good, close viewpoint. Both falls are much smaller right now due to the dry spell and the time if year, but you can tell that they would be magnificent earlier in the year or after a wetter winter. This may make the rd a bit more dangerous to drive though. Overall it was still a beautiful hike and I thought it was worth the drive.
Very short hike beautiful waterfalls cant beat that.
Beautiful place to hike and take the family.
Beautiful place. Pretty easy hike.
We Had A Great Time At The Golden / Silver Falls Trail We Just Took The Silver falls trail it was great and really only a short hike well walk getting there lite terrain. There Is A Video On Our YouTube Channel injoy
Always beautiful throughout the year.
Its worth the pot-hole riddled road to get there. Googles GPS took me in the wrong direction, so just follow the signs on the road to get to the park.
Two stunning waterfalls in a short loop hike, really gorgeous! Be sure to walk up the trail to the top of Golden Falls, really cool spot.
The trail was pretty money but it was also very rainy. This is an amazing photo opportunity as well as just the most gorgeous waterfall in my opinion Oregon has to offer.
Beautiful hike... Very easy.
Beautiful waterfalls. The road to area is a bit of a challenge but worth it. Dont trust GPS, follow signs. Take left fork. Road is narrow, not well maintained and gravel at end. Right fork is a lumber truck road and shows a bridge on GPS but it is closed. Still a beautiful site.
Such and amazing place. I go multiple times every year
Make sure you wear good shoes, it can get a bit muddy in the rain season, but an amazing hike! Beautiful views from the top of the falls. Well worth the effort.
Such a beautiful and tranquil spot for such wonderful works of art from Mother Nature
Easy hike great trail. Beautiful
Great beginner hiking and truly stunning views. It was about 87 degrees when were went, and the waterfall was brisk and refreshing. Truly revitalized not only my body but also my soul.
I love this hidden gem. Its never crowded, and is a scenic secluded drive. Both waterfalls are gorgeous and allow you to get right up to the base of them. A must see!
Wow!! This was so beautiful and totally worth the drive. We found a gem just down the road on Air BnB called The Little Cabin, check it out if you are heading to the falls and want to stay the night close by.
What a gem easy hike to beautiful waterfalls
I love this hike. The road there is a little sketch, youll feel like you ahouod turn around but dont!! Keep going till the road ends and youll be at the trail head :)
Definitely worth going on the upper trail you get to see the silver falls on the way up to the top of golden falls
Absolutely gorgeous! Went December 2018 and was amazed by the beauty of it. Short trails (which can be nice) and beautiful scenery! I thought there were two falls in one but there are 2 separate falls which made it even more fun! However, the road getting out there is full of pot holes and when it is raining makes it even worse to drive on. Be prepared to get car sick if you get motion sickness. The bathrooms are also disgusting. There was feces spread across the toilet seat and just could have been better maintained in my opinion. There also could have been toilet paper that would be nice. The falls themselves are beautiful though,
So pretty and you can see two falls from one trailhead.
Was beautiful, much more serine than anything at Yosemite I have seen since the California drought. The paths ate a bit rough and the road is riddled with potholes. The kine that are unavoidable and eat car rims for sport and fun. Worth the trek. There is a toilet there, just dont expect much in the amenities.The hike to one fall is about half a kilometer or about 1500 feet. The other requires you to trudge across a downed bridge and choose two paths, a high road and a low road. Wasnt brave to have the high ground. Either way you will have gorgeous vantage points wherever you go. Euphamisim for life is what this park provides.
Really enjoy it here. Especially hiking above the falls
Had a good hike as always. The new foot bridge is really nice
The views of the 2 waterfalls are awesome, also easy hike, after noon viewing is best
A wonderful hike in the woods.
I love the falls great hikes and a whole lot of fun.
A very beautiful place to visit
Both waterfalls did not disappoint.
Magnificent place and superb views of every place. Wonderful scenery of waterfalls. The waterfalls are from a much greater heights the area to reach to the top is bit steep and are used by visitors for hiking. The views from the top are as much amazing. The bottom surface is very much rocky. No restroom here in the vicinity of waterfall park. Few restaurants are available.
Super long potholed dirt road, not really a problem just letting others know in case theyre finicky. Silver falls hike is cake, we had elderly and toddlers all make it there easy. The falls is phenomenal! You can get right up in it if youre the adventurous type - you can feel the wind and spray and its just a great experience. The gold falls is similar, a slightly longer hike but very tame and the falls is very breathtaking and accessible.
These Falls are beautiful! There aren’t too many waterfalls around the coast but these are great waterfalls to hike into!
Nice hike into the falls. Not difficult.
Confusing on how to find it via Google maps. Follow the state signs. Google is wrong on this one. It gets you close then send you off in the wrong direction. Silver fell has the best view.
Beautiful park, very secluded and clean facilities on site. Beautiful hikes, and few people travel out there so like I said before, it is secluded. When you step under the giant canopy of ancient trees, you feel like you have stepped into a whole other world. This is one of my absolute favorite hikes!
The hikes depending on which trail is taken has different levels of difficulty of walking. Wear sturdy shoes, take water and enjoy the scenery. Take your time and be careful. Each fall is unique and beautiful.
A remote wonder of the Coos Bay area, it is hard to get to, but so worth it once you are there. If you can get to the top of the cliff, you can even walk along the river that flows off of it.
Great little hike and beautiful falls
Short walk to waterfall.
Its a beautiful area, but the trail is missing the bridge to get to the lower falls.
Perfect little hike!
Golden falls was closed so we went to silver, the viewpoint. B) beautiful
Absolutely breathtaking hiking!
Beautiful place
Awesome view... multiple trails... the facilities were gross! I dont know how often they are cleaned!
Very nice place to hike but if you are looking for something strenuous or a longer distance then I would pass on this place. Cool spot for someone who lives close & wants to get away. Has a few picnic benches and limited BBQ pits with vault toilets that are usually dirty & smelly. Not a bad spot but theres so much better in Oregon. We are folks who have been to some of the most beautiful waterfalls in the country and in Oregon state So Im being extra generous with the stars.
We enjoy returning to this rustic gem. The hike is short, stimulating, verdant, a beautiful rain forest treasure hunt. We wear sturdy shoes and protective clothing, slips are common. This Oregon State Park gem competes as the most scenic of the hundreds of Coastal Oregon waterfalls. Allow extra time for the narrow, scenic road.
A great example of Cool, Green, Oregon . Great trail accessibility throughout the area, fantastic view of a very large healing erosion canyon.
Simply beautiful. This little gem is hidden away, but it has some fabulous views. Worth the drive.Word of warning: the park is at the end of a one lane gravel road. If you visit in the rainy season, be prepared for some bumps.
Great hike with beautiful views!
Beautiful
Wonderful place to take your family for some hiking, very scenic
Love the hikes! very fun with the kids! beautiful place for some pictures but wear a sweatshirt! it gets a little cold being in that canyon.
The most underrated park in Oregon. Two of the most beautiful waterfalls youll ever see. You can see both falls by taking a short hike or long hikes.
Great short hike to silver falls for kids
Nice secluded small park with three trails two are easy walks and one that takes you to top of golden falls is a little more strenuous but Im 71 with hip issues and I made the trek that was well worth it.
Very bumpy road otherwise the falls look beautiful you can go to silver waterfall but gold is a hard to get close to
Beautiful and very Peaceful..
I love this park and hikes to both falls. But yesterday’s trip to Silver falls had me very upset. Someone tagged(spray painted) graffiti on the rocks of the falls
Awesome
Its a very nice walk to silver falls, just a bit over a mile from the campground, the other falls are a nice .75 mile walk. Rated easy.Last October the road had washed out about 1.5 miles before the campground. Its just a nice walk up to the campground.We loved it
Two large beautiful falls in a lightly visited forest.
Loved it! Really beautiful but dont follow GPS. The signs keep you off private property
What a phenomenal display of Oregons scenic beauty at its finest!! The hike was of moderate difficulty but worth every step!
