Waterfall Wednesday #8


Lower South Falls

This 93-foot waterfall is located roughly one mile downstream from South Falls at Silver Falls State Park. Like South Falls, a trail takes visitors behind the waterfall, making it one of four falls that do so. From Mid-Winter to Mid-Spring, this waterfall creates an almost perfect curtain of water.In Late Summer it becomes less dramatic. Formed by three different layers of lava flows, with the middle one less resistant and therefore allowing a path behind the falls, this waterfall has created several caverns below the trail that are not visible in the picture above.
