The park is attached to the rest stop via a path...a pretty stretch of grass with a small stage (?). It has restrooms, although we didn't use them so I can't speak to their cleanliness. The rest of the park area looked slightly un-tended to, but not dirty. There's a play area and tennis court, as well as a few picnic tables and a decent amount of parking. The river runs along the back side, and there's a nice bridge across to continue on to a marked trail on the other side. Lovely river and bridge, beautiful trees all around...a nice setting really. The park looked like it needed a little tending to, but a decent place to stop off and stretch the legs.

There's a bridge across the river, and some big rocks adjacent, for some relaxing river watching. Banners advertise summer concerts at the amphitheater. Also, this park is a good spot to wait for someone riding down Larison trail. Park is closed when dark.

Diamond Creek Falls is the next door "little brother" neighbor to Salt Creek Falls - the 2nd…read moretallest waterfall in Oregon. So as a pairing located just a few hiking miles from each other, if you visit one, you must stick around to do the other. Especially since these waterfalls are located in a remote part of Oregon right off the Williamette National Forest Highway and not too far north of Crater Lake. Salt Creek Falls is the "main event" waterfall, but don't dismiss Diamond Creek Falls. It's quite impressive in its own right, and quite different from Salt Creek Falls. And if you are an outdoors waterfall enthusiast, you will appreciate coming to this area and getting rewarded with witnessing 2 waterfalls for the price of 1 admission. Let's get to Diamond Creek Falls... It's a manageable 3 mile roundtrip hike. Start by crossing over a footbridge. Along the way a posted warning sign mentions that Diamond Creek Falls pathway ventures beside the dangerous cliffside. Do not fret. You don't reach anywhere near a freefall dropoff. This sign should be ignored. Keep an eye out for blue ribbons that can help assist you in staying on the trail. A significant difference I noticed between Salt Creek Falls and Diamond Creek Falls is how Salt Creek Falls is a quick half mile (each way) visit to a lookout point. Diamond Creek allows you to much more connect with nature. It's a pleasant trek through the forest. Continuing on...pass over a fallen down log. Finally, you'll come upon a sign for Lower Diamond Creek Falls. This is the primary path leading to the base of the falls. Step down over another tree stump and you're almost there. There's one final footbridge to pass over down beside a creek and you'll start hearing water flowing. And...walk straight to the toe of Diamond Creek Falls. Diamond Creek Falls is a 120 foot cascading waterfall from top to bottom. It's much different than the 286 foot straight plunge from Salt Creek Falls. Salt Creek Falls is visible only from a distance. Diamond Creek Falls is good for sitting down on the rocks and admiring the setting. You can have lunch or a snack if you brought food. Lastly, when returning to the main part of the trail, you can venture higher to the possible "upper section" of Diamond Creek Falls, but I never attempted it further because I was content with the surroundings from the "lower Falls". I simply returned to the parking lot to finish the adventure. In all, both waterfalls have their own attributes and visiting them together makes for a fun filled half day of hiking in South/Central Oregon.
