Cavitt Falls
   Douglas County, Oregon

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

Cavitt Falls is modest little cascade along Cavitt Creek located within a BLM campground near Glide. The falls consist or one or two channels depending on how much water is in the creek, and drops all of about 8 feet into a large pool (great swimming). I'm fairly certain there are probably half a dozen or more larger waterfalls elsewhere on Cavitt Creek that would be more interesting. Bottom line is this one is of minimal interest outside of having a great swimming hole.

HISTORY AND NAMING INFORMATION

  • Cavitt Falls is the Official name of this waterfall.

LOCATION AND DIRECTIONS

In the town of Glide, turn south off of Highway 138 on the Little River Road and follow it for just over 6 1/2 miles to Cavitt Creek Road (Newbridge Road works too, as they both merge). The Cavitt Falls Campground can be found another 3 1/2 miles down Cavitt Creek Road. The falls are found at the bottom of a set of stairs from the day use area.
