Yakso Falls, just off the Rogue-Umpqua
Scenic Byway, is only 60 feet high but it is a good 25 feet wide,
dropping in the shape of a fan. While there isn't a great flow of
water (this is the 'Little' River), the flow is spread out so that
it appears much larger than it really is.

How to get
there:
Exit I-5
in Roseburg onto OR-138 and head east, across the river to OR-99.
Here, OR-138 follows 99 north for a couple blocks and then goes east
(right) again. It is about 18 miles to Glide and the North Umpqua
Ranger District Office (18782 North Umpqua Hwy). Stop in, get loaded
up with information - which will help increase your enjoyment of the
coming sights.
From the
District Office head back toward Roseburg just 0.1 mile to Little
River Rd (#17). Turn left onto Little River Rd and follow it (about 20
miles) where its name changes to 'Forest Service Road 27' (it also
becomes gravel, here). It is 7 more miles to Lake in the Woods
Campground parking area. The trail head is across the road from the
parking area and is a very easy, 0.7 mile to the base of Yakso Falls.
