Wahkeena Falls can be found along the Columbia River Gorge in Multnomah County, Oregon. It is not far from the City of Portland, on the Historic Columbia River Highway.
A short trail from the parking lot leads to a stone
bridge crossig the main part of the falls. The trail continues east to Multnomah Falls, where there is a much larger parking lot, & a lodge with a restaurant & restrooms. Although Multnomah Falls is more famous & has a longer drop, I think Wahkeena Falls is more immediate & exciting. You can get quite close to the water, which sends great clouds of mist across the bridge. The rock formations remind me of a Chinese scroll painting. It is also much less crowded with tourists. But please see both falls while you are here. You can walk or drive between them. The falls are most abundant in winter & spring.
