A 20-year-old male hiker reportedly died Monday in what park officials described as a “horrific accident” following a devastating fall from a 177-foot waterfall at an Oregon state park<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Authorities said the man was from out of state and was visiting Silver Falls State Park, more than an hour south of Portland, according to<\/a> Central Oregon Daily.<\/p>\n

The visitor reportedly went off-trail while trying to reach an area where he could pose for a photo, crossing a barrier and making his way over a creek directly above the falls.<\/p>\n

The incident happened at the upper viewpoint of South Falls, the park\u2019s tallest waterfall, which cascades into a large pool below, Oregon State Police<\/a> said, according to the outlet.<\/p>\n

He then fell into the pool below<\/a> at around 6:30 p.m.<\/p>\n

Bystanders at the park reportedly tried to help, performing CPR as emergency responders rushed to the scene.<\/p>\n

The victim died at the scene, according to<\/a> KPTV. Authorities did not release his identity.<\/p>\n

“It was a pretty horrific accident,” Silver Falls State Park regional manager Chris Gilliand said, according to Central Oregon Daily. “A very tough situation.”<\/p>\n

The Marion County Medical Examiner reportedly released the man’s body to Marion County Search and Rescue.<\/p>\n

Search and rescue personnel then completed the recovery from the base of the falls.<\/p>\n

Unger Funeral Chapel later took custody, according to reports.<\/p>\n

Silver Falls State Park is known for its Trail of Ten Falls, a popular hiking route featuring 10 waterfalls and attracting visitors from across Oregon and beyond.<\/p>\n

South Falls is considered one of the park’s main attractions and features a trail that allows visitors to walk behind the waterfall<\/a>. The waterfall has been described as the “crown jewel” of Oregon’s state parks.<\/p>\n

Fox News Digital reached out to the Oregon State Police and Silver Falls State Park for more information.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
