Waterfalls in
Crater Lake National Park -
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
there:
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.

way to the Columbia River waterfalls, take I-205 north to I-84.
