Paulina Creek Falls

Paulina Creek Falls is a waterfall in Newberry National Volcanic Monument south of Bend, Oregon, created where the outflow of Paulina Lake drains into Paulina Creek. Classified as both a cascade and a plunge fall, it is especially notable for an 80-foot drop that divides around a small island at the cliff edge, forming two parallel curtains of water. A paved out-and-back foot trail from the Paulina Falls Day Use Area off Paulina Lake Road leads to viewpoints at both the top and bottom of the falls. Winter snow closes access into the Newberry Caldera on Road 21, including routes to summer trails in the monument.
