Officially, the 4th tallest waterfall in Silver Falls State Park. The falls drop 134 feet, plunging straight down before striking a steeply slanted protrusion of basalt which causes the stream to veiling the remaining distance to the floor of the canyon. As the name of the falls implies, Winter Creek only flows during the winter months, or in this case the wetter times of the year.

The waterfalls of Silver Falls State Park were discovered and named by local photographer June Drake in the late 1880's.
