It's 6100 feet up. Snow stays until late spring. Don't go too early.

An old post of mine...

If you really want a neat experience, take the boat to Wizard Island. I think you can buy tickets online.

[What the entire island looks like] ( http://i.imgur.com/V7LEv4m.jpg). Was formed from separate volcanic event waaay after lake was already there. You can take the morning boat and stay about 4 hours until afternoon boat picks you up. We brought a picnic and everything. [The "beach" we lounged at was just sharp lava rocks.] ( http://i.imgur.com/mriOiVH.jpg). Wear good shoes for the [trail] ( http://i.imgur.com/Z716JCt.jpg). To get to the boat its one mile up, one mile down. Just switchbacks, no rides.

Are you camping in the area? And I would think that experienced hikers even kids could make the halfway trip around... but you would need some climbing equipment and safety gear for portions on the far side of the lake (pictured). The beauty of the internet is that you can study all the paths and trails long beforehand and plan your routes.
The reason I asked about camping is that will help determine how long you want to take walking around the lake

Silver falls is the name of the park but there are like ten different waterfalls a few of which look pretty similar. One of these is named silver falls and lends the name to the park but the rest have their own names. OP is saying this is one of the falls in silver falls park but not sure which one.
