Watson Falls is the tallest waterfall in the North Umpqua River basin and is often recognized as one of the tallest waterfalls in Oregon. While the latter fact is not entirely correct, it is certainly among the most notable waterfalls in southern Oregon. The falls hurtle a sheer 293 feet over a massive cathedral-like amphitheater wall of basalt, crashing into a long talus slope covered in moss and vine maple. The falls plunge over enough of an overhang that occasional gusts of wind can toss the water sideways or upwards in rare cases (usually later in the summer when there is less water in the creek).
Watson Falls is located along Hwy 138 (the Umpqua Hwy), about 13 miles west of Diamond Lake.
