Middle North Falls is a 106ft tall waterfall which changes physical shape in a very dramatic way as the volume of water in North Silver Creek changes. The falls take the form of a narrow column of water during the summer months, funnelled to perhaps 5 feet wide. With greater stream flow in the spring months however, North Silver Creek sheets out across the 60-foot wide creek bed and turns the falls into a broad curtain of water, with part of the falls impacting on a twisting chute of basalt which then slides to join the more voluminous half of the creek in the plunge pool.
