Explore Latourell Falls
Take a short walk to the base of the falls, where there is a small pool, so you can get up very close. If you want to stretch your legs, take the 2.4 mile loop to the top of Latourell Falls.
Latourell Falls is a beautiful and unique waterfall in the Columbia River Gorge in Oregon. This amazing waterfall is just a few hundred yards from the road and parking lot. Once you park, there is a viewpoint for the falls that is straight ahead.
The view from there isn't that great compared to what you will find if you take the short trail that starts near the bridge and goes to the base of the falls. The trail is really short, only a few hundred yards. You can do some exploring once you reach the falls and go behind the falls if you wish. Latourell Falls has an unusually small pool that it drops into so you can actually walk right up to the edge of the falls for an epic photo op. Be warned though, you will get soaked.

I wouldn’t really call it a hike unless you’re hiking all the way up to the top of the falls. But either way it’s absolutely worth a stop! Very pretty and unique. Family friendly!
We Go Here Every Summer!
We've been going here for years! After (or before) seeing my favorite spot in the world-Crown Point vista house, we always stop here! Great smaller falls, super photo ops (and selfies with the falls of course for the younger crowd). You can go down under it if you dare, but the kids and pups usually play in the smaller stream it creates farther down. Dog and family friendly! Walk a little down the path to see a great big bridge (that you walk by on your way down to the falls) and a grassy park with picnic tables and water!
Stunning
The lower falls are a short jaunt to from the car, easy for a quick trip height of the waterfall makes for the attraction. Rock formations remind me of Iceland.
