Tumalo Falls &
State Park
Nestled in the heart of sunny central Oregon, Tumalo rests along
Oregon's spectacular Deschutes River, home of the Tumalo Falls.
Tumalo Falls is 97 feet high and there is a great viewpoint
from the parking area which is easy to reach. A short hike up the
trail will bring you to a superb overlook at the top of the
waterfall. Elevation: 4950 ft.
Further above up is Middle Tumalo Falls which consists of a
lower and upper tier. There is an Upper Tumalo Falls (aka Far Tumalo
Falls). |

A short hike
from the parking area up the North Fork Trail
along Tumalo Creek will bring you to a series of 3
cascades, totaling about 60 ft. in height. The
lower 2 tiers are together and easily visible from
a viewpoint along the trail. These 2 lower tiers
are also referred to as Double Falls. The upper
tier is just around the corner. Continue up the
trail a short distance to another viewpoint.
TUMALO STATE PARK
The campground is simultaneously close enough to
the town of Bend to make an quick jaunt to the
grocery store, but far enough away to escape the
commotion. Its location makes it an ideal stepping
stone for any type of outdoor activity you could
possibly dream of: lush green golf courses, clear
blue-ribbon trout steams, pristine alpine lakes,
miles upon miles of challenging yet scenic hiking
and mountain bike trails, and of course the
Cascade Mountains are all within easy reach. |
