Lower South Falls

Lower South Falls is every bit as attractive as its upper counterpart. This one features a classically rectangular shape as it drops 93ft and is quite reminiscent of Rainbow Falls in California's Devil's Postpile National Monument in the Eastern Sierra. However, this one (the Silver Falls State Park version) features a bonus as you can walk behind it.

Come to think of it, almost half of Silver Falls State Park's 10 main waterfalls lets you go behind them. I guess that's kind of like the

park's M.O. (modus operandi).

In any case, we reached this waterfall by hiking an additional 0.8 miles downstream from South Falls or about 1.2 miles from the car park. From there, you can continue along the Trail of Ten Falls for another 1.3 miles to Lower North Falls or you can backtrack to the car park and drive to the other car parks to see the other falls on the trail (maybe saving about a mile or two in the process, so we'll let you decide whether to do the eco-friendly option or not).
