Copyright Jessica Tomlinson of JATomlinson Photography Stop #9: Falls Creek Falls Falls Creek Falls Douglas County Oregon. Umpqua River at Horsehose Bend Campground. Fishing on the Umpqua is always excellent. It is not recommended that children swim in the Umpqua. Be careful if you decide to get into the Umpqua River as it is fast-moving. Boulder Flat and Horseshoe Bend campgrounds are both worth staying at on your way to the next waterfall. There are several small campgrounds along the Umpqua river, and each of them is equally as pretty as the next.

There is a campground nearby at Toketee Lake, but you should check online first to see that it is open before planning to stay there. The 1/3 mile trail that leads to the falls is doable with children. Copyright James Parsons of Extreme Oregon. Watson Falls is the 3rd tallest waterfall in Oregon, and can be accessed by a gentle 1/3 mile hike from the parking area. This waterfall is small, but still beautiful and worth the visit. White Horse Falls is also just off of a parking area. Just a hop, skip, and jump down the road from Clearwater Falls is White Horse Falls. ![]() Stop #5: Whitehorse Falls Photo by Jessica Whitehorse Falls. If you take this road it will lead you to a small campground right at the top of the falls. There is a forest service road from the highway just before you get to the driveway leading to the falls. The campground above the falls is not marked and there are no signs from the road. One is off of the driveway leading to the parking lot, and one is above the falls. There are also two campgrounds at Clearwater Falls. The falls are right off of the parking lot, which makes it an ideal place to visit with small children. This is one of those waterfalls you expect to see a hobbit living next to from Lord of the Rings. It’s one of the most scenic, serene places I have been to in Oregon. Stop #4: Clearwater Falls Photo by Jessica Tomlinson of Clearwater Falls. I do not suggest crossing the river on the log that is downed across it, as it is slippery from the mist. We took our daughter when she was 5 and she made it with help. The trail can get steep in places, but it is doable with children. A 1/2 mile trail will take you from the parking area down to the falls. Stop #3: National Creek Falls National Creek Falls. Copyright Jessica Tomlinson of JATomlinson Photography Rogue River Gorge. They stock Union Creek with trout all summer long. ![]() While the water is clean, I would not recommend swimming since it is icy year round. It should be noted that it’s worth it to hike up and down Union Creek near the campgrounds, as there are numerous small waterfalls along this serene creek. Union Creek runs into the Rogue River at the campgrounds, and an easy hiking trail (or a 2 minute drive) will take you to the Rogue River Gorge waterfall. You can also stay in a cabin at the resort across the highway. This is one of the best campgrounds I’ve ever stayed at, and we make it a point to go back every year. Stop #2: Rogue River Gorge/Union Creek Campground While you’re there, why not take a drive around the rim? You can camp at Crater Lake, but it’s expensive, and there are other campgrounds outside the park that are worth the visit. A lot of people visit Crater Lake every year, but few realize that there’s a waterfall you can get to with an easy, kid friendly hike. Start your adventure at Crater Lake National Park with Vidae Falls. Stop #1: Vidae Falls at Crater lake Vidae Falls Crater Lake National Park.
