From Wikipedia: Chush Falls, also known as Lower Squaw Creek Falls and Lower Whychus Falls, is a waterfall formed along Whychus Creek on the north skirt of North Sister, west side of the city of Bend in Deschutes County, Oregon. Access to Chush Falls is from Forest Service Road 16, south of Highway 242. The trail to the falls ends at the canyon rim overlooking the falls, but unmarked paths lead down to the base of the waterfall.
