  • Oregon Waterfalls
Escape into the tranquil embrace of nature at Vidae Falls, a hidden gem nestled in the heart of Oregon’s wilderness. Join us on a journey to uncover the serene beauty and untamed allure of this picturesque cascade. From cascading waters to lush greenery, explore the essence of Vidae Falls and discover why it’s a must-visit destination for nature enthusiasts and adventurers alike.

Crater Lake National Park
(Crater Lake OR)

There are three, officially named, waterfalls in Crater Lake National Park: Annie Falls, Duwee Falls and Vidae Falls. Only Vidae Falls can be seen relatively close-up from the road. The highest fall in the Park, Vidae Falls is actually a cascade, tumbling about 100 feet down the rock debris from Vidae Cliff. Never a great flow of water, the waterfall is usually reduced to a shadow of its former self by August. 

How to get to Vidae Falls

If you are continuing on our tour along Hwy 138 (the ‘Rogue-Umpqua Scenic Byway’), you eventually enter Crater Lake National Park via the North Entrance road (closed in the Winter). When you reach Crater Rim Drive (which encircles Crater Lake) continue on southward to the official Visitors’ Center. This is past the turnoff (on your left) to Rim Village.

We suggest you stop in at the visitors’ center if you are interested in the rest of the Park. To get to Vidae Falls, continue on the Rim Drive about 3 miles past the Visitors’ Center to the marked turnout and parking area.

If entering via the Southern Entrance Road, turn right on the Crater Rim Drive. When you pay your entrance fee you will get excellent guidance.
