Cavitt Creek Falls, is a waterfall located on the west edge of the Umpqua National Forest, outside of the town of Glide, in Douglas County, in the U.S. state of Oregon.[1] It totals 8 feet fall in one cascade that shoots into a large swimming bowl and is the centerpiece attraction of the Cavitt Creek Falls trailhead and Recreation Site.[2] Boulders across Cavitt Creek create two channels of water flow that make the cascade and add to a combined width of approximately 15 feet.[3]

Cavitt Creek Falls is located along Little River Road, approximately 7 miles from Highway 138. The cascade is surrounded by forest. The river is open to trout fishing with artificial flies and lures only.[4]
