THINGS TO DO IN MEDFORD & THE ROGUE VALLEY

Barr Creek Falls is a multi-stepped waterfall in the Rogue River Canyon near Prospect, Oregon. Barr Creek bisects the southern end of the Prospect Airfield, then drops over a 60 foot fall which is mostly obscured by trees, then cascades 30 feet and finally plunges 150 feet to the canyon floor. Barr Creek doesn't hold a large volume of water, so the falls range from an explosive torrent during the spring to a more delicate veil later in the summer. When the flow is right, a second segment forms adjacent to the final drop of the falls (it appears on a recent visit that debris has plugged this channel partially, causing the segment to run dry more often than not now). Barr Creek Falls is more photogenic than neighboring Mill Creek Falls, but the options are limited. The lower tier of the falls is quite photogenic, but because its located somewhat distantly across the canyon, using foreground anchors doesn't lend well to the scene. Telephoto isolations of parts of the falls, however, is a good way to go. kid friendly hiking nature trips walking bird watching forest river views waterfall

Parks along the route provide parking, restrooms, and drinking water.
