Linton Falls is east of Springfield.
Viewpoint GPS N44º 10.352', W121º 54.144', Elevation above sea level 3700 ft.

Call 1-503-588-2941 for road condition information for route 242 (McKenzie Bridge).
This road is generally closed for many months. Access to the falls is within the
first eleven miles of the junction with Hwy 126. Certain sections may open sooner
than the entire length of route 242.

Directions:

From I-5 exit onto I-105 and head east to Springfield
At second light turn left onto Hwy 126
Drive through Walterville, Vida, Blue River and McKenzie Bridge
Five miles past McKenzie Bridge turn right onto Hwy 242
You will reach Alder Springs Campground in 10.4 miles
1.6 miles past Proxy Falls trailhead

Sign at the parking area and the trail start across the road:

After 0.6 miles you will reach a curve in the trail - go right.

The very best viewpoint I could find is at the 1 mile mark per the GPS listed above (viewing distance 1.3 miles).
All views are obstructed. Downed trees at Obsidian Creek made any further advance impossible.
