Cavitt Creek Falls Recreation Site - a photo on Flickriver

Cavitt Creek Falls Recreation Site on a late-winter evening, Feb. 27, 2020, by Greg Shine, BLM.

Away from the busier North Umpqua Corridor, Cavitt Creek Falls Recreation Site is a favorite spot for swimming, picnicking and camping. Surrounded by a forest of fir, maple, and cedar trees, the site features ten campsites, a day-use area with tables and grill, drinking water, vault restrooms, and a stairway to a swimming area. Salmon and Steelhead leap the falls from October through April. Cavitt Creek and Little River are open to trout fishing with artificial flies and lures only, from late May through mid September. Contact Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife for their Oregon Sport fishing regulations and exact season dates.

Looking for a great spot to cool down on those hot summer days? Grab your swimming gear and head to Cavitt Creek Campground and day-use area. This site is best known for its swimming hole at the base of a series of small waterfalls and jumping salmon and steelhead in the fall and winter. For more adventure, head to the nearby Wolf Creek Falls Trail for a 1.2 mile walk to the view the 75’ tall Wolf Creek Falls.
