  • Toketee Falls is one of the most famous waterfalls in Oregon.  It is recognized for its graceful columnar basalt formation that frame the two tiers of the falls. The waterfall is 113 feet high with a 28 foot upper fall and and a 85 foot lower fall that plunges into a wide pool.  The North Umpqua River carved a gorge out of the lava flow which resulted in this marvelous waterfall.  Above the waterfall is a dam from which most water is diverted to a powerhouse down stream through a wooden 12 foot diameter pipeline. The pipeline is visible from the trailhead parking lot. As a result of the dam and the diversion of the North Umpqua River, the river has been artifically tamed allowing the river to flow in an extremely consistent manor all year long.
