Silver Cascade Falls

Silver Cascade Falls is a waterfall in North Cheyenne Cañon Park that drops water over granite rock faces. The water flows from Buffalo Canyon and passes through St. Mary's Falls before merging into North Cheyenne Creek below.

The falls became public accessible when North Cheyenne Cañon Park developed as a recreation area near Colorado Springs. The area grew to serve residents and visitors seeking natural spaces in the region.

The falls are part of a trail network that draws Colorado Springs residents throughout the year for outdoor recreation. Visitors experience the waterfall as a destination within a larger landscape of canyon trails and natural features.

The falls are accessible via a steep trail of roughly half a mile starting near Helen Hunt Falls. Parking and restroom facilities are available at the trailhead for visitor convenience.

During peak water flow, the falls create a natural spray formation that shoots water outward from the rock face. This dramatic effect happens because of the force of falling water striking the stone surface.
