Silver Falls State Park

May 13, 2006

This classic loop with its ten waterfalls is always a favorite. I’d avoid weekends during the summer because there are sure to be large crowds. Don’t forget they require a special $3 park fee. We were lucky to hit their annual wild flower show at the lodge. There must have been 100 different flowers on display. As popular a park as it is you’d think it would be marked on I-5 but it isn’t. When heading north take Salem exit #253 and make your first right. From here the signage is good. Excellent maps are free at the lodge.
