Silver Falls Group site sits in a forested, mountain terrain on the banks of the Entiat River within the Silver Falls Campground. This is one of the more popular sites on the Entiat Ranger District. The cascading water of Silver Falls is a draw for many visitors to this particular area, which is especially refreshing in the summer heat. The Silver Falls National Recreation Trail is an exceptional family friendly hike that takes you up, around and down the falls. Panoramic views of the surrounding mountains await you on your hike.At Entiat River Road mile marker 27.8 is Box Canyon. This geological formation is about 65 million years in the making and the chasm spans a run of about 500 feet and ranges from 75-150 ft. deep. Fish Tail Falls can be observed from the view point running over, under and through a pile of large boulders, cascading another 15 feet. At times you can see salmon in this pool. Approximately 3 miles north on Entiat River Road from Silver Falls is Entiat Falls. This broad 25 foot cascading natural waterfall makes quite a rejuvenating impression. Bring a picnic lunch or just stretch your legs and enjoy. Take precaution as the river rock can be very slick. Ardenvoir is the closest town within 20 miles.
