Henline Falls
Henline Falls drops 126 feet as a broad curtain over the side of a narrow alcove on Henline Creek in the Opal Creek Wilderness. The adit of the old Silver King Mine sits near its base, lending the falls the nickname Silver King Falls.
Before you go
Waterfalls are hazardous by nature — wet rock, cold water, and unstable edges — and flow varies enormously with season and recent rain. Trail figures here describe the route as documented, not conditions today. Check US Forest Service (Opal Creek Wilderness) for closures and current conditions, and confirm land status before setting out.

Frequently Asked Questions
Henline Falls drops about 126 feet. That makes it the 146th-tallest documented waterfall in this inventory, taller than roughly 79% of the falls listed here. Height comes from published land-manager and survey records, not from our own measurement.
The Henline Falls Trail reaches it about 1.7 miles (out-and-back) with roughly 236 feet of elevation gain, rated easy. The nearest town is Elkhorn. That describes the route as documented, not conditions on the day — check with US Forest Service (Opal Creek Wilderness) for closures and current conditions.
Spring. Waterfall flow swings enormously with snowmelt and recent rain, so a fall that roars in spring can be a trickle by late summer.
