Oregon Waterfalls and Rapids

Oregon’s diverse geology creates a landscape defined by dramatic water features, from the basalt-lined plunges of the Columbia River Gorge to the volcanic cascades of the Cascade Range. This collection highlights iconic landmarks like the 286-foot Salt Creek Falls and the suspension bridge at Drift Creek Falls, alongside powerful river rapids like Benham and Dillon Falls on the Deschutes River. These sites showcase unique geological formations, including columnar basalt amphitheatres and ancient lava flows that have shaped the state's river systems.
