About Silver Falls State Park

Silver Falls State Park covers more than 9,000 acres east-southeast of Salem. Its best-known feature is the Trail of Ten Falls, a 7.2-mile loop through a forested canyon past a series of waterfalls, and visitors can walk behind South Falls. The park also has more than 35 miles of backcountry trails for hiking, mountain biking, and horseback riding, along with day-use areas, a campground with tent sites, RV spots, and cabins, and a historic lodge. Its history includes Civilian Conservation Corps work in the 1930s, and the park opened in 1933.
