Butte Creek Falls, Waterfall in Marion County, Oregon.
Butte Creek Falls creates a 78-foot cascade with two distinct drops, flowing at 150 cubic feet per second through a wide curtain formation.
The waterfall formed part of the Molalla River watershed system, which has shaped the geological features of Marion County throughout thousands of years.
The falls serve as a natural gathering point for outdoor enthusiasts who frequent the established trails and observation points in the Butte Creek Recreation Site.
Visitors reach the falls by following Maple Grove Road for 7.2 miles from Scotts Mills, then taking Sawtell Road to South Family Camp Road.
The waterfall features an undercut rock formation that allows people to walk behind the cascading water, providing views through the water curtain.
