Butte Falls may be the only
community with a cattle guard at its entrance. When you
cross the cattle guard, it is time to slow down. Don't
let the size of Butte Falls deceive you. This community
doesn't just dream in a big way, it does things in a big
way. There are two museums, a historical society, a
library, a school district, an economic development
committee and has been working on an economic package
that will include a water bottling plant. And, one day,
the community has plans for a rail line to once again be
opened. Butts Falls is an incorporated community with a
mayor and town council.
To find Butte Falls, turn right off Hwy 62, 4½ miles
north of Eagle Point ... it is a scenic drive up the
Butte Falls Highway approximately 25 miles to the town.
Elevation is 2,600 ft.
The town of Butte Falls is known for its fresh air,
water, sunshine and health, has two restaurants, a gas
station and a general store. Gather up you picnic
supplies and take a break in the Ernest W. Smith
Memorial Park, or nearby at Willow Lake, a high Cascade
lake offering breathtaking views of Mt. McLoughlin, wild
geese, eagles, osprey, swallows, loon and deer. Camp in
the pines near the lake with RV spaces and group Camping
and cabins available.
