Foster Falls
Foster Falls was the last waterfall we saw on our Appalachians 2012 trip, and it was a fine way to cap it off! Even though the Foster Falls Wild Area is better known to climbers looking for a…
Lower South Falls
Lower South Falls surprised us as it was every bit as attractive as its more famous upper counterpart. This one featured a classically rectangular shape as it dropped 93ft but its wide…
Upper North Falls

North Falls
North Falls is perhaps the second most popular waterfall in Silver Falls State Park primarily because of how relatively easy it is to access. This one exhibited a more or less…
