There are multiple small waterfalls to enjoy along the trail, but the falls near the McKay campground is probably the most popular, a low, rocky dual waterfall that’s perfect for inventive photography. Is a popular 22-mile trail near La Pine that exchanges some of the steeper Cascade hikes for a more level trail that’s popular for camping and backpacking. That makes it a very popular spot in the summer, but you’re sure to be in good company. It’s a beautiful spot for enjoying the craggy volcanic cliffs, swimming, birdwatching, and hikes of all kinds. McKay Crossing Falls are famous for their rocky landscape, part of the incredible Newberry National Volcanic Park trails.
The river itself also offers plenty of views – make sure you stop by in the fall to catch local changing colors! Oh, and don’t forget Middle Tumalo Falls, a smaller waterfall located further out for those who would like to hike out a bit more. The falls themselves are a 97-foot scenic scene of Tumalo Creek, surrounded by trees and cliffs in a perfect snapshot of the beauty of this Cascade area. There are picnic spots, restrooms, and a variety of trails designed for hiking and mountain biking (another popular local pastime). It’s also the most family-friendly waterfall hike you’ll find, with trailheads that are only a few minutes away from the falls themselves. Tumalo Falls is one of the most accessible waterfall hikes in the area, and hands-down the most common recommendation for newcomers looking for a waterfall hike to start with.
