A hard-to-reach state natural area in southwest Oregon's coastal forest, known for two waterfalls reached by hiking trails.
Coos Bay, OR
About Golden and Silver Falls State Natural Area
This small state natural area sits in dense coastal forest in southwest Oregon, roughly 24 miles from Highway 101, with the last few miles on a narrow gravel road. A compact parking and picnic area lies beside Glenn and Silver Creeks, shaded by maples, alders, and Oregon myrtles. Trails lead through canyons to each waterfall, which drop over steep rock cliffs onto mossy boulders. A 1.4-mile hike climbs to the top of Golden Falls, offering an overhead view of the water and nearby old-growth firs and cedars. The park is open for day use throughout the year.
