I decided to take a drive from Bend, Oregon to Roseburg, Oregon for the day. A co-worker told me to stop in and hike to Toketee Falls. I was absolutely amazed and speechless at how stunningly beautiful the hike and falls were. The moss covered rocks, green trees, emerald green water. I promise you that you DO NOT WANT to drive by this place and not stop. It was worth every bit of my drive. The hike was very magical and movie like. I just knew any minute little "ferries' were going to pop out of the trees. :) All joking aside....do not miss this beauty.
Was a very nice drive a little hard to find the road to the hot springs once u are at the lake. The trail is rough in spots but once ur there its amazing.
My husband and I just took a trip out to Toketee Falls for the first time. It was a easy/short hike to get into see the falls. The trail is well taken care of, however, there are a lot of stairs. I would definitely recommend anyone to check out this beautiful sight.
This waterfall is about 20 miles west of Diamond Lake, Oregon on Hwy 138; well marked road sign where to turn. Go a couple hundred yards off Hwy 138 to the trail head parking area. The parking lot is small, paved, and has handicapped parking. However, the trail to the waterfall is NOT user friendly to wheelchairs or baby strollers. The hike to the waterfall is 5 or 600 yards that is uneven ground with exposed tree roots, but offers safe handrails, places to sit and beautiful scenery. It is well worth the hike when you get to the end! My best advise is to take a good camera and a bottle of water with you.
This is but one of 8 or 9 waterfalls on the Upper Umpqua that I visited on a day trip. It was worth the hike. Met some wonderful folks on the trails and the falls were magnificent. Take a camera. 8-)
We stopped at Toketee on our way to Crater Lake at the end of June. It is an easy 1/2 mile walk from the well marked parking area which is right off the main highway. The falls were nice but the water volume was not very impressive. It would probably be better earlier in the year with more snow runoff. I guess I would say, take the time to see it if you are going by, but don't go out of your way just to see it.
This is a beautiful falls quite a few stairs so not really handicapped accessible well worth the hike you cannot get up close to the falls because you're on the other side of the river so beautiful sight
one of the more famed waterfalls in the umpqua area. nice hike, lovely sight. a lot of wood paths and steps rather than trail. definitely a must see for waterfall lovers. hike ends at a large lookout platform up above falls and facing it directly. no access to actual waterfall.
On the way to Crater Lake take a quick stop and walk into Toketee Falls. The walk is easy to moderate for there are several stairs. The view is worth the walk as the water flows over the columnar basalt. It's best to see the falls at lower water levels.
While you are in the neighborhood of Crater Lake, seek out Toketee Falls for a refreshing afternoon walking the trail alongside the falls. It is a lush, moist environment for this part of the world, and a beautiful immersion in nature. There is so much pristine life here! That is a rare treat in this built-over world.
