Upper Coquille Falls is a 30-foot plunging waterfall on the South Fork Coquille River featuring a large pool at its base suitable for swimming in summer months.

Access is via a steep trail with rope handholds from a small turnout on Forest Road 3348, approximately 3. 5 miles from the Rogue-Coquille Scenic Byway.

Below the falls, the river flows across bedrock shelves with deep potholes that pose potential hazards for paddlers navigating the increasingly rugged Cataract Canyon downstream.
