Little River Waterfalls

Glide ~ Oregon

 

There are six waterfalls that may be reached from Little River Road which is located in Douglas County, Glide Oregon.   All directions are given from the starting point of Highway 138 and Little River Road which is at milepost 16 on Highway 138.  All of Oregon's waterfalls can be appreciated the most during our wet season due to the increased water flow in the streams and rivers.  Please be aware of changing weather conditions and dress appropriately.
