Yakso Falls, Waterfall in the Cascade Range, Oregon, United States

Yakso Falls is a 70-foot waterfall on Little River in the Cascade Range east of Roseburg, Oregon. It is reached by a 0.7-mile trail from Lake in the Forest Campground in Umpqua National Forest. The trail passes through selectively logged old-growth forest.

The name comes from Chinook trading language, where Yakso means 'hair of the head', describing how the waterfall appears as it flows. This naming reflects the indigenous connection to the landscape in this part of Oregon.

Yakso is a Chinook Jargon word for "hair", and the 21-metre fall is said to look like a woman's long hair. The trail from Lake in the Forest Campground passes through selectively logged old-growth forest, and other falls such as Hemlock Falls and Grotto Falls lie within 5 miles.

A short trail from Lake in the Forest Campground takes you through old-growth forest to reach the falls, with a walk of less than a mile. Insect spray is worth bringing during summer months when bugs are more active in the shaded forest areas.

Within 5 miles (8 km) of Yakso Falls lie several other waterfalls: Hemlock Falls, Middle Hemlock Falls and Upper Hemlock Falls (also called Clover Falls) on Hemlock Creek, plus Tributary Falls, Cedar Creek Falls, Flat Rock Falls and Grotto Falls. Hemlock, Cedar, Clover and Emile creeks all join Little River downstream of Yakso Falls.
