About Triangle Falls
Triangle Falls in Oregon offers a refreshing plunge into cold, crystal-clear waters flowing over smooth rocks, creating a natural water slide along Pontius Creek. This primitive spot blends the thrill of an improvised waterslide with the untouched beauty of a forested creek setting, making it a unique part of Oregon swimming holes.
Getting There
You’ll find Triangle Falls near Triangle Lake County Park, though exact directions can be a bit uncertain, so bringing a detailed map or GPS is helpful. Parking is informal and limited, with the site requiring a short walk through wooded terrain to reach the creek and water slide area.
What to Expect
The water cascades over rocks, forming a slippery natural slide that’s invigorating but chilly—this is a true cold spring experience. The atmosphere is quiet and undeveloped, without facilities or clear signage, so it’s mostly a spot for those seeking a raw encounter with nature. Expect few visitors due to the remote access and lack of amenities.
Tips for Visitors
Wear sturdy shoes for the rocky approach and always use a bathing suit as clothing is required. Be cautious on the slippery rocks—standing on the slide is unsafe. Since no fees or formal rules are posted, please respect the environment and pack out all trash. Early summer offers the best conditions before water levels change.
