Toketee Falls Trail Destroyed

Toketee Falls:

The Umpqua National Forest has closed the popular Toketee Falls hiking trail because a boulder crashed through a bridge that connects the trail with a viewing deck at the end.

The crash occurred Thursday about 200 feet before the viewing deck. It took out a 20-foot section of a bridge, leaving boards and railings scattered beneath it. A hiker reported the crash to Diamond Lake Ranger District officials at about 5 p.m. after hiking to the falls and coming upon the crash.
