Geocache Description:


The South Umpqua Falls are incredible! They cascade down the smooth rocks into a large pool. This is a resting place for Chinook salmon as South_Umpqua_Fallsthey are migrating up the river to spawn. There is a fish ladder to make the journey easier for them. The picnic area at the falls is also very special. There are several sites and a very large concrete area for a group too. I understand this is a favorite swimming hole in the summer too! 

This cache is on the trail to the bottom of the falls. It can be accessed off the paved road or from the parking area for the falls. You are looking for a small peanut butter container with some trade items and a log book. Please be sure to rehide well because there are a lot of muggles in the area. Elevation is 1662'.

Side Note: Across the road from the picnic area is a very nice Forest Service campground too. It has 20 sites and looks well maintained. There were hunters in about 5 campsites when we were there.
