After Multnomah Falls, this is Oregon’s second-highest single-drop waterfall, with a breathtaking plunge of 286 feet. The accessibility from the road is what makes it so special and worth any effort to make the trek out into the vast Willamette National Forest to go see it. Since there's a wheelchair accessible boardwalk less than 50 feet from the large paved parking lot, anyone can appreciate the wow factor of this waterfall. Others, and those with more time, may want to pay attention to the map for the trail location to get down to the Lower Falls Viewpoint where there are picnic areas, fishing opportunities, and a different vantage point of the cascade's power. Along the top platform viewing sites, there were plenty of beautiful pink and purple rhododendrons to admire in early June. The best time to take in the stronger water flow of the falls after snowmelt are April to August.
Restrooms were closed for repair at the site during our visit. There was a sign directing visitors to use other restrooms 1/4 mile away at Sno-Park. A day use $5 fee is required to be paid at this site using the self-service pay station. There are instructions on how to pay the fee posted at the kiosk We used our Interagency Access Pass instead and visited for FREE.

继摩特诺玛瀑布之后,这是俄勒冈州第二高的单级瀑布,落差高达 286 英尺,令人叹为观止。从公路上可以到达瀑布,这是瀑布的特别之处,值得您前往广阔的威拉米特国家森林公园一睹它的风采。由于距离大型铺砌停车场不到 50 英尺的地方有一条可供轮椅通过的木板路,任何人都可以欣赏到这座瀑布的壮丽景色。其他人,尤其是那些时间充裕的人,可能需要留意地图,了解小径的位置,以便下到下瀑布观景点,那里有野餐区、钓鱼机会,以及欣赏瀑布水流的不同有利位置。沿着顶部平台观景点,六月初有许多美丽的粉红色和紫色杜鹃花可供欣赏。欣赏融雪后瀑布强劲水流的最佳时间是 4 月至 8 月。
我们参观期间,该地点的卫生间因维修而关闭。有一个标志指示游客使用 1/4 英里外 Sno-Park 的其他卫生间。需要使用自助付费站支付 5 美元的日费。亭子上张贴了如何支付费用的说明。我们使用了机构间通行证,免费参观了。
