Nestled in the lower elevation of Oregon 's Cascade Mountains lies a temperate rain forest. It is here the Trail of Ten Falls can be found. The Canyon Trail and the falls descend to a forest floor covered with ferns, mosses and wildflowers. You also will find stands of Douglas fir, hemlockand cedar.

The Canyon Trail is a nationally recognized trail system that leads hikers along the banks of the north and south forks of Silver Creek. It takes you to ten majestic water falls, ranging from the grand South Falls (177 feet), to the delicate Drake Falls (27 feet). Four of these falls have an amphitheater-like surrounding where you can walk behind the falls and feel the misty, crisp spray.

The park has over 25 miles of trails for hiking (14 miles of horse trails). Pets are welcome on all but 5 miles. Because the canyon trail is narrow and bordered by sharp drop-offs in spots, bicycles, skate boards, in-line skates and pets are not allowed on the canyon trail. If you have any questions about which trails will accommodate pets, check with park staff.
