Toketee Falls, Oregon

Located in Southern Oregon, Toketee Falls is a gorgeous 2-stepped falls spanning approximately 115 feet in height. The upper tier drops ~30 feet and the lower step has a drop of ~85 feet. From the parking lot there is an 0.8 mile round-trip hike on an intermittently paved path. There are hand rails and built in steps throughout.

The formation of this 115 foot waterfall is a result of the North Umpqua Wild and Scenic River carving a sinuous gorge out of the lava flow. Near trailhead #1495 you'll observe a wooden pipeline spanning 12 feet in diameter- which surprisingly leads profusely. This pipeline regulates and reduces the water flow over the falls resulting in hydroelectricity and a constant stream over the falls. The North Umpqua River keeps this viewpoint strong year round.
