Located near the Mapleton Highway 126, this waterfall is all about adventure. If you have ever been bitten by the adventure bug, then Kentucky Waterfalls (pictured above) are going to be a must! Once at the trailhead, you’ll get to experience a 4.4 meter hike in accompanied with a steep climb to the return.

Proxy Falls

Last name on the list that we have here is that of Proxy Falls (pictured above). Dropping from a whopping 226 feet, Proxy Falls are perhaps one of the best, if not the best, places to be in and around Oregon. It is popular as a family friendly hike, as there are so many serene and beautiful upper and lower sections of the waterfall, which make for an amazing landscape. Plus, it is one of the most photographed waterfalls in the state, making it a huge tourist attraction. If you don’t want to miss out on the most popular landscapes in the region, then going to Proxy Falls can be a great idea.

Those were three of the top choices that we have to suggest for you. There are other waterfalls like Diamond Creek Falls, Slat Creek Falls and more, which have lots of exciting things to offer for the nature lovers.

All of them add to the overall beauty of this wonderful state of Oregon. As a nature lover, visiting this part of the world can bring you a lot of surprises.
