Winter Falls

Winter Falls, is a waterfall located in the Silver Falls State Park at the east end of the city of Salem, in Marion County, in the U.S. state of Oregon.

It is located in a privileged area on the west foothills where Mount Hood National Forest meets with the Middle Santiam Wilderness.

The falls drops in a straight plunge down approximately 100 feet (30 m) to a steeply slanted protrusion of basalt which causes veiling of the cascade the remaining distance to the pool.

Despite being one of the tallest waterfalls in the park, it is the one with the lowest flow volume.

During the summer months, Winter Falls tends to be but a dribble of water spattering over the cliff of basalt.
