Start at Koosah Falls (5 miles East of Sahalie) That way you do most of the uphill hiking at the begining of the Waterfalls Hike. There are many steps and, signs and even a nice log bridge along your way but the highlight for us was sitting on the opposite side of the entrance to Koosah Falls for lunch. Your... More

In fall the colors are amazing! The falls are well worth a short easy hike down to viewing area. Only a ways down river from Clear Lake, the head waters of the pristine McKenzie River.

If you are in the mood for a great easy hike there is three falls to see. The largest and coolest is close to parking lot and easy to get to.

I visited these falls for the first time last month and was amazed. I have driven by them for years and never stopped. The 'hike' is very easy and the river is gorgeous.

We were traveling along the highway and saw the sign for Sahalie Falls and spontaneously decided to stop. Wow --- are we glad we did! Not far from the parking lot you are stunned by the majesty and beauty of the Sahalie Falls. Then, if you feel like a gorgeous easy hike, keep following the dirt trail along the river... More

The falls were totally worth the drive. There were very few people and it was easy to get some great pictures.

We stopped here on our way from Hood River to Sutherlin. (The drive alone is quite scenic.) Both falls were easily accessible and incredible to see. It's easier to get closer to the top of Koosah than it is Sahalie, but the top of Sahalie is definitely reachable with a short walk. Don't miss these falls!

Off 126 biway, go park in the clearly marked Sahalie and Koosah Falls lot. Walk for about 30 seconds on the path and see the most northern waterfall of the two, the Sahalie waterfall. You will think you died and went to heaven. Absolutely one of the most beautiful waterfalls, and it is very, very powerful with mist blowing all... More
