Waterfalls
Situated high in the Cascade Mountain Range, Crater Lake National Park is a great place to begin your search for scenic waterfalls. Melting snow in the spring and early summer brings many impromtu cascades and waterfalls. As the snowplows open the roads, more viewing opportunities are possible while in lower elevations access may be year-round.

Located 3.1 miles east of Park Headquarters on the East Rim Drive.
Highway 62 West
- Rogue Gorge
Just east of Union Creek, the Rogue River carved a near vertical canyon through basalt lava flows. The interpretive trail winds half a mile along the canyon rim. - Mill Creek Falls
A 0.3 mile trail reaches both Mills Creek Falls and Barr Creek Falls. The first waterfall drops nearly 174 feet while Barr Creek Falls is nearly 200 feet in
height.
