A roadside horsetail-form waterfall that drops directly beside the Historic Columbia River Highway east of Multnomah Falls. A short loop continues uphill to Ponytail Falls and Oneonta Gorge.
Its 176 ft drop is taller than about 85% of the 775 waterfalls we track.
Its water comes from Horsetail Creek. It lies in Multnomah, Oregon. The site is on public land managed by Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area (USFS).
This is a roadside waterfall: visible from a road, parking area, or a walk of a few hundred feet. Little to no walking is required, so it suits a quick roadside pull-off rather than a dedicated hike. The walk to the main viewpoint runs about 2.5 miles round trip. The nearest town is Corbett.
When to go: spring. Water volume swings with the seasons here, strongest after snowmelt or rain and lowest in late summer, so check recent streamflow before you go.
