Description
Lower North Falls isn't the largest of the Silver Creek waterfalls, but some people feel that it's the most photogenic. The symmetry of the view has been marred somewhat by the recent arrival of a large log, but the view is still very much worth the trip. There are many views from the Canyon Trail from below the falls and there's an interesting view looking over the top of the falls from the Hullt Creek Bridge, just above the falls.
The Canyon Trail is currently closed from the Double Falls Trail junction past Lower North Falls to the Maple Ridge Trail junction due to storm damage (observed 2007-12-26)
