Prospect State Scenic Viewpoint — Local services in Central Point

Always a treat when I stop here. Few places offer such an array of scenic views, history, and natural wonders in a short hike like Mill Creek Falls and The Avenue of Boulders. There are views from further back as well as lots of daredevil vantage and photography points. The boulders and river rapids can sooth a frantic soul while the double dose of mammoth falls humbles the viewer. The hike has moderate steep sections and some stone stair steps...

Absolutely stunning falls! The trail to the falls is easy and pretty short, you can hear them from the parking area. And even though it's not a long hike, it's gorgeous and so worth the drive. I could sit and watch and listen to the roaring of the falls for days. Perfect serenity. And if you're feeling like getting a bite to eat after, just continue up Hwy 62 to Beckie's Cafe for a perfect slice of pie or whatever suits...

We visited these falls in the third week of June as a side trip on our way to Crater Lake. The hike was pretty fast and not very taxing. However, the mosquitos were ravenous. I only saw the falls from the high vantage point from a ravine opposite the falls. Not sure if there is a way down to the bottom...
