Proxy Falls Trail #3532 is located just east of McKenzie River off Hwy 242 in the Cascade Mountains.
The best two-for-one deal around! One stream cascades into two separate shimmering veils dropping 226 feet (68.885 m).
Instead of feeding a stream, the water pooled at the foot of the falls seems to disappear, but it's actually sinking through the porous lava into the ground.
Touted as a family-friendly hike (but not ADA accessible), the dirt and lava-rock trail is an easy loop totaling 1.5 miles (2.4140 km).
The trail showcases two distinctly different waterfall views of the upper and lower sections of Proxy Falls. At the bottom it is possible to scramble close to the water and feel its spray. As with all waterfalls, watch for falling rocks and debris.
Proxy Falls is among Oregon's most frequently photographed waterfalls. So don't forget your camera!
