Cavern Falls is the second largest waterfall along Cascade Creek in Moran State Park on Orcas Island. The falls consist of a 5 to 8 foot tall plunge which flows out of a narrow slot covered with brambly thickets then veils about 12 feet down a more exposed protrusion of bedrock. The falls are easily seen from the Cascade Creek trail but are largely blocked by bushes that make photographs from the trail simply a waste of time. This one is probably only interesting to waterfall hunters.
- Cavern Falls is the Official name of this waterfall.

Park at the marked trailhead about 1/4 mile further. Cavern Falls are found by hiking down to Cascade Creek, first arriving at Rustic Falls, then heading left(upstream) for another 1/4 mile where the trail climbs above the falls.
