Location
Dillon Falls are a short distance from Grants Pass along Interstate 5.[2] They are located on a section where the Rogue River funnels into a narrow channel shortly before reaching the main drop of the waterfall, approximately 10 feet high ending on a calm pool. Considered Class IV rapids, the stretch of Dillon Falls continues with two whitewater waves a short distance from another rapid waterfall, Ti'lomikh Falls.[3]
