Silver Falls State Park, State park in Marion County, Oregon, US
The 9,000-acre park features the Trail of Ten Falls, where visitors can walk behind four waterfalls, including the 177-foot South Falls.
The park began as a logging town in 1888, until photographer June D Drake campaigned for its preservation and park status in the early 1900s.
The Civilian Conservation Corps constructed numerous trails and facilities during the 1930s, including the South Falls Lodge which remains a central gathering point.
The park provides camping facilities for tents and RVs, along with cabins, horseback riding trails, and multiple day-use areas with picnic amenities.
Four waterfalls in the park create natural amphitheaters, allowing visitors to experience the cascading water from multiple viewing angles, including behind the falls.
