Cataract Canyon Falls   (Confirmed)
   Coos County, Oregon

[ Physical Makeup ]  [ Pictures ]  [ Maps ]  [ Update History ]

Cataract Canyon Falls is a modest waterfall on a seasonal tribuary of the South Fork Coquille River, located immediately adjacent to Upper Coquille River Falls. The falls almost plunge right onto FR 3348, and when they're flowing, its hard to miss. The light was about as bad as could be when I visited, and I didn't take pictures as a result. A full write up will be posted upon a return trip.
