Silver Falls is ~90 minutes south of Portland and has 4-12 mile loops that walk :siren:behind:siren: multiple big waterfalls.
Trestle Creek Falls, up Bryce Creek east of Cottage Grove and Dorena lake, also includes walking behind the falls' curtain about 80 feet up or so. It's a pleasant 4-5 mile hike with a small amount of moderate terrain. You're within arm's reach of the water and there's no handrails, none of this paved paths with guardrails bullshit - and nobody cares if you bring your dog.

Drive up Bryce Creek about 19 miles iirc, until you come to a bridge with some forest service bulletin boards and toilets next to it. Park where you want, then go east over the bridge, pass the trailhead on your left that's about 10 feet past the bridge, and go another 40-50 feet until you see the trail marker for the Upper loops of the trail.

When you finish the upper trailhead you are a couple hundred yards from your car BUT there's also a little half-mile trail to reach the lower falls - which has a really nice little gravel beach and pool to stop and eat lunch before driving home. Bryce Creek has a lot of gorgeous swimming holes but it's cold as gently caress and all the campsites are BYO everything.

If you time arriving at the bridge around 10am it stays nice and cool until you're leving, even when it's :fuckoff: hot in the summer for the rest of the day.
