Known as the “Crown Jewel” of Oregon’s state parks, Silver Falls State Park is a breathtaking wonderland featuring the famous Trail of Ten Falls, a 7.2-mile loop that takes hikers past (and even behind!) 10 stunning waterfalls. This lush forested paradise is perfect for both seasoned hikers and casual explorers looking to connect with nature.

While dogs aren’t allowed on the full Trail of Ten Falls, there are several dog-friendly trails to enjoy with your furry friend, including the Rim Trail and Perimeter Trail. These scenic paths provide stunning views of the park’s natural beauty without venturing into non-pet areas.

Spring and early summer showcase the waterfalls at their fullest, while autumn transforms the park into a vibrant tapestry of color. Winter offers a quiet, misty charm for those who don’t mind bundling up.

Silver Falls State Park is a must-visit for families, nature lovers, and anyone seeking Oregon’s most enchanting landscapes. Make it a day trip or camp under the stars for an unforgettable experience!
