Waterfall Wednesday 4/23/2025

There is a small park east of Coos Bay called Golden and Silver Falls State Recreation Area. Nowhere near as amazing as Silver Falls State Park near Silverton Oregon but this is the set of falls named Silver Falls with the smaller park. There is another set of falls within this park named Golden Falls named after a Dr C. B. Golden that was some prominent dude in the area long ago. I have seen images of Silver Falls during the rainy season with notable amounts of water flowing over the top but the day I visited only had a couple of thin streams of water going over the edge.

Pile on with your own images of falling water.

Iconic falls - very nice take on them. A lot of what you include in this frame may have grown back by now with mostly moss, ferns, and ground cover. I think there was more fire damage in some of the other drainages than in Eagle Creek itself. Elowah Falls and Wahclella Falls got hit much harder than Eagle Creek with the fire scorching down to bae rock.
