There’s no shortage of amazing waterfalls here in Oregon. Go for a hike, and you’re likely to stumble upon a well-known waterfall or small, seasonal treasure. Columbia River Gorge, for example, is home to 90 waterfalls — and that’s on the Oregon side alone! Deschutes National Forest is another waterfall treasure trove, and that’s where you’ll find a two-mile trail that leads to a double waterfall *and* a scenic overlook, not to mention one of the best-known falls in the state.

Located within the stunning Deschutes National Forest, the Tumalo Falls Day Use Area is home to several stunning waterfalls and scenic trails.
