Where to find the hidden waterfalls of southern Oregon: Peak Northwest podcast

Oregon is

famous for its waterfalls

, but not all are so easy to find.

On this week’s episode of Peak Northwest, we explore a

hidden waterfall corridor

along the North Umpqua River in the southern Cascade Mountains, ranking the best plunges and falls in the region.

From jaw-dropping Toketee Falls to pretty Susan Creek Falls, these are all places worth pulling off the highway to see. While this part of Oregon is known for remote getaways, or a backdoor route to Crater Lake, it’s also something of a waterfall paradise.

Here are some highlights from this week’s show:


  • Susan Creek and Fall Creek falls are small, but still worth a stop.

  • Slide Creek Falls is gorgeous, but a little too hard to find.

  • Why Toketee Falls is probably the most popular waterfall out here.

  • Our number one North Umpqua waterfall has it all.
