Located within a private property in the Willamette Valley near Scotts Mills, access to these falls requires a bit of adventure, navigating rough terrains and a short hike. The falls plunge over a 92-foot drop, where the water cascades over a natural amphitheater of columnar basalt. This basalt was formed from ancient lava flows, giving the cliffs around the falls their distinctive structured appearance. The area around the falls remains largely wild and untouched, offering a pristine natural environment ideal for photography, nature watching, and escaping the hustle of modern life.
