MULTNOMAH FALLS Multnomah Falls is the second highest year-round waterfall in the nation. Plummeting 620 feet, the waterfall is fed by rain, snow- melt and underground springs on Larch Mountain. Multnomah Falls offers one of the best places in the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area to view the basalt rock formations exposed by Ice Age floods. At this historic location you will be able to experience the sights and sounds of this magnificent waterfall, Oregon’s number one natural visitor attraction. The Multnomah Falls Lodge was designed by Albert E. Doyle and the natural stone building was constructed in 1925. In 1939, the City of Portland transferred ownership of the lodge to the US Forest Service. Since the 1940s the lodge at the Falls has been operated by a private company under the US Forest Service Administration.

Many hikers with a little more time and hiking ability opt to conquer the 1.1 mile trek to the top of the falls. The trail is paved from the base to the viewing platform at the top.
