Natural Bridge Falls   (Disqualified)
   Jackson County, Oregon

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

Natural Bridge Falls is a set of rapids along the Rogue River immediately below its namesake Natural Bridge - a formation where the Rogue River has occupied a short lava tube, submerging itself underground for a few hundred feet before bubbling to the surface. This feature does not meet our requirements to be considered a waterfall. We are leaving the entry in place as a disambiguation because the feature has been mentioned prominently in Greg Plumb's "Waterfall Lovers Guide" books. The feature otherwise does not meet our requirements for waterfall status and is disqualified from being considered such.
