Tucked in the lush landscape of the Columbia River Gorge, Wahkeena Falls is an exotic beauty that cascades down vibrant, mossy cliffs. This guide will aid in planning your visit to this spectacular Oregon gem and the surrounding attractions.
Wahkeena Falls, meaning “most beautiful” in Yakama Indian language, truly lives up to its name. Historically appreciated for its picturesque scenery, this 242-foot waterfall doesn’t drop directly to the ground, but rather slides down in a serpentine flow.
Just a 40-minute drive eastwards from Portland and less than half a mile from Multnomah Falls, Wahkeena Falls can be reached via the Historic Columbia River Highway.
There’s no entrance fee to visit the falls. However, ensure you check for any parking permits required.
