Middle North 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.

Location

[edit]

Middle North Falls is created along the course of the North Fork Silver Creek and it sits on the north section of Silver Falls State Park Trail of Ten Falls, along Winter Falls Loop.[3] Middle North Falls is one of four waterfalls in the Park that features a separate trail behind waterfall. The trail leading behind Middle North Falls is a dead-end, constructed purely to allow access to additional views of the waterfall.
