Golden Falls
About
Golden Falls is a waterfall in Coos County, Oregon, sitting at about 573 feet within the Coos Forest Protective Association area. The nearest town is Glasgow, about 14 miles away. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show July and August highs around 66 to 67°F with only about four wet days a month. That station sits near sea level, so temperatures at the falls may run a little cooler, and the rest of the year is far wetter, with most winter months seeing 17 to 20 wet days. Paddlers will find Glenn Creek just over half a mile away and Matson Creek about 3 miles off. Farther out, the Loon Lake Waterfall Trail and Loon Lake Recreation Site are both within about 9 miles.
