Wildwood Falls
   Lane County, Oregon

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

This small break in the otherwise relatively calm Row River is known for being one of the best swimming holes in Oregon. The Row has incised itself a few channels in the small basalt cliff creating the falls, and thusly forming 3-4 different segments. During higher water periods, the falls may become a more characteristically 'Block' type waterfall. On sunny days, you'll likely see local swimmers here, relaxing on the banks of the river, or jumping from atop the falls into the large pool at it's base.
