Light mist falling.
Salmon Falls is the largest waterfall along the Little North Santiam River, as well as the river's natural barrier to upstream fish migration. The falls drop 24 feet in a pair of side-by-side plunges with a fish ladder bypassing the falls on the far bank. Fortunately the ladder is more or less enclosed within the natural bedrock and only a small concrete structure is visible to indicate the presence of human interference. A small county park provides access to the falls as well as picnic facilities. As of November 2012 part of the short trail leading down to the river below the falls was heavily eroded.
