Linton Falls

Linton Falls is a multi-step waterfall in Oregon’s Three Sisters Wilderness, east of North Sister along the McKenzie Pass corridor on Oregon Route 242. It descends 615 feet in eight tiers, ending in an 85-foot final drop into Linton Lake. Reached from the Proxy Falls trailhead, it is a major destination in the area. Winding channels, terraces, and sloping forested ground break up the falls so completely that no single viewpoint reveals the entire cascade. Above Lower Linton Falls, the upstream route is unmarked and mostly inaccessible, though additional unnamed cascades continue toward Duncan Falls about a mile beyond.
