Salt Creek Falls is Oregon's 2nd tallest waterfall, a 286 foot plunge from top to bottom. Visiting…read morehere is easy. It's located right off Highway 58 and 65 miles southeast of Eugene, OR. It's a $5 day use fee. I visited on Labor Day Monday and it wasn't so busy. Once you park, Salt Creek Falls is off to the right hand side but...Diamond Creek Falls (another very worthwhile waterfall to visit) is located towards the left hand side. So...I'd suggest visiting both. You get rewarded with 2 waterfalls for the price of 1 admission. The pathway to Salt Creek Falls Viewpoint is half a mile at most, but along the way there'll be a quick preview of the falls beside the staircase leading towards the trailhead. You can't miss it and you'll hear the falls loudly crashing down below. The hike to the viewing deck is casual. You walk through the forest. It's pretty quiet. Once you arrive at the lookout viewpoint, Salt Creek Falls is impressive. You get undisturbed looks at the waterfall. If your curiosity interests you, you can walk around past the platform for closer glances. I did venture out a little just to avoid the guardrail being in my pictures. But I would say...it's a very steep decline and footing wasn't so secure. Be cautious with your steps. You'll understand this while there. Btw...there were no signs indicating you couldn't venture past the viewing deck. It's up to you to decide how much further you'd like to explore. I noticed some people joined me on the cliffside, while others stayed on the viewing deck. In all, it doesn't take long to see Salt Creek Falls. It's definitely a refreshing breathe of air to be at another marvelous Oregon waterfall, and that's where making the next part of your visit better when you return back to the parking lot and continue onto the 3 mile roundtrip trail to Diamond Creek Falls. I won't say too much about Diamond Creek Falls. I can save it for another review, but I will say it's a complete 180 degree different type of waterfall and setting. You get more into the heart of nature. And you can stand at the base of Diamond Creek Falls looking right up at it cascading in front of your eyes in comparison to witnessing Salt Creek Falls from a vista point platform. They're both unique natural wonders in their own ways. If you're in the central part of Oregon, I'd make plans to come to Salt Creek Falls. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised by two magical looking waterfalls that barely get recognition. I didn't know they existed prior to 2024, and I thought I had been to them all, lol. Goes to show...there always more to see, always more to discover. Getting out among the great outdoors is a beautiful thing.

Great waterfall viewing here. It's not too far from the parking lot down to the viewing areas…read more There are different viewing areas to go to and get different vantage points. What I liked about this is that they do have accessible viewing areas. Definitely worth going to and having a picnic, hike or both.

We stayed at The Last Resort in the Umpqua Valley with our friends--two families with four kids…read moretotal--and while the campground itself was tidy and the showers were nice and hot, our experience was seriously soured by the behavior of the staff. Shortly after we arrived, they yelled at our 1.5 and 4.5-year-old kids for touching the sprinkler system. Instead of a polite heads-up, it was immediate hostility. Later, they got snarky with us for being about 10 minutes past checkout--even though no one was waiting for our site, and we were clearly in the process of leaving. It wasn't just a reminder; it was rude and unnecessary. We had to directly ask them not to speak to us so nastily. Between the two families, all of us felt uncomfortable and unwelcome. There are just too many beautiful and friendly places to stay in this region to deal with that kind of treatment. The only reason I'd recommend this place is if you absolutely need a hot shower and can't find one elsewhere. Otherwise, steer clear.

We stayed in the Lake House cabin which had a beautiful, yet, "at-home" feel to it and is tucked away privately away from everyone else. Its so quiet, and the views of the lake from the living room and master bedroom are epic. I enjoyed sitting inside by the fire and watching outside, it was so peaceful. We ate at the lodge, the food was so yummy. We loved the soups and bread. Perfect after being in the snow. Wes did a phenomenal job serving our table. We also went on a guided snowmobile tour. Candice was our guide and she did fantastic. She made our adventure so much fun!! My cheeks hurt after because I was laughing and smiling so much. We will DEFINITELY be back!!!

This is the only place that had WIFI, there is NO CELL SERVICE here. The staff are eager and ready to help you, and they have warm regards as well. There are also lots of souvenirs, trinkets, and gear in here as well.

Beware of mosquitoes!!!…read more The campsites are huge and surrounded by tall trees. We had 4 tents but still had plenty of space for the kids to run around. We camped in July and it was still cold. The place was full of mosquitoes. It was very uncomfortable. They did not care if we were covered with off spray. They feasted on us as if we were wagyu meat. Crater lake was stunning but we're probably not going back due to the mosquitoes.

Pro tip: Stay in Bend, OR and pack lots of food and drinks, and drive into the park for a day trip…read more There may still be snow, yes - even in July! We visited the park and stayed at the cabins Jun 19 -20 and they got five inches of snow the night we left. There is not much to do in the park after dark and not really anything to do in the cabins so bring books and cards, because there is no cell service. You can almost drive all the way fully around the whole lake but there are closures happening so you won't be able to go all the way around. Food is very limited and not good, so bring your own! There is NO CELL SERVICE on most of the volcano. However, there is Wifi at the Mazama Store. I was able to sit in my car (once connected inside) and use the wifi for the apps that it would allow over WIFI. It is not a secure network either. You will need to drive to most all of the sites and activities at the park. If the park activities are open for the season, you will probably have about two fulls days worth of activities to do. However, in off season, a day visit is plenty to take in the sites.

The lake is gorgeous and we really enjoyed the one dog friendly trail we could find which I believe is called Lady of the Lake. They have really cute little trolley tours and gift shop was nice; we spent more here than we usually do. We made the trek around the rim and there are lots of great photo ops and interesting things to see. It's really nice to be able to come and spend reflecting in some of these ancient spaces and appreciating the natural beauty.

Just know you are paying for "location"...proximity to Rogue River Gorge and Crater Lake and you won't be too disappointed when you will find more things wrong with the cabin than you can imagine. In the winter, expect to freeze. Hopefully you have a 0 degree sleeping bag in your vehicle! You may lose power and/or the heater won't work. In the Summer, it may be hard to sleeps as the AC just blows warm air. Everything is dusty so you wake up feeling tired and congested. Windows/door may not open or close properly, the beds may feel like a hay bale. Don't expect wi fi or cell service. Other than that, it's paradise!

We stayed in cabin number 20 right behind the main building, maybe 60 feet from the union Creek, which was wonderful atmosphere. The entire property was lovely, very peaceful, and we wish we were staying longer. Wonderful small trails directly from the resort along union Creek and several along the Rogue river including the Rogue gorge, which is very close to the resort. Can't wait for my next visit here!
