Prospect is the payoff drive from Shady Cove, half an hour up the Rogue to where Mill Creek Falls throws 173 feet of water into the canyon and Barr Creek Falls drops 240 right nearby. Both are short walks, under two miles round trip, and dogs manage them fine. South Umpqua Falls over the divide has a swimming hole and barely any walking. Turner Drop is 0.7 miles. Thirty nine falls sit inside the radius, which makes this little river town a better waterfall base than Medford.

Located at 42.6117°N, -122.8179°W
