The Waterfall Loop Trail is part of the 26 mile long McKenzie River trail. On this loop you can see Sahalie and Koosah Falls from both sides of the river, and avoid the crowds that only hang out at the waterfall viewing platforms. Most descriptions of this loop will have you start at the Sahalie Falls parking lot, however, because it is an extremely popular destination and the parking lot is almost always full, this description will have you start at the Koosah Falls parking area. Head 1/4 of a mile south on highway 126 and turn at the sign for Koosah Falls and park here. This parking lot is farther off the highway, so less people park here because it isn’t an obvious road-side attraction like Sahalie Falls.
