Toketee Falls
A two-tiered waterfall where the North Umpqua River drops between columns of basalt, the most photogenic stop on Oregon's “Waterfall Highway.”
Toketee Falls sits beside Highway 138, known as the “Waterfall Highway,” about 35 km from Diamond Lake. The river first drops about 12 m, then plunges another 26 m between walls of hexagonal columnar basalt into a jade-green pool. The walk from the car park to the viewpoint is about 0.7 km one way, with roughly 200 steps, and takes about 40 minutes round trip. Nearby Watson Falls, about 89 m high, is one of Oregon's tallest waterfalls and can be visited on the same trip. Climbing the cliffs beyond the viewing area is prohibited.
