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 Bureau of Land Management (Roseburg District) for closures and current conditions, and confirm land status before setting out.

The Susan Creek Falls Trail reaches it about 1.6 miles (out-and-back) with roughly 180 feet of elevation gain, rated easy. The nearest town is Glide. That describes the route as documented, not conditions on the day — check with Bureau of Land Management (Roseburg District) for closures and current conditions.
Year-round (high flow spring); note 2020 fire-area recovery. Waterfall flow swings enormously with snowmelt and recent rain, so a fall that roars in spring can be a trickle by late summer.
