Winter Falls, Waterfall in Silver Falls State Park, Marion County, United States.
Winter Falls drops 134 feet in a single cascade, forming a thin water column that measures approximately 5 feet in width along its vertical descent.
Local photographer June Drake discovered and named Winter Falls during his exploration of the Silver Falls region in the late 1880s.
The waterfall forms part of Silver Falls State Park, which contains multiple waterfalls that attract photographers and nature enthusiasts throughout Oregon.
Visitors can reach Winter Falls through a short fifth-mile hiking trail that leads directly to the base of the waterfall.
During winter months, the water flow increases substantially, while in summer the creek often reduces to minimal levels or completely dries up.
