An 88-foot plunge on Horsetail Creek where the trail passes behind the falls through a naturally eroded basalt cavern. It sits a short uphill walk above Horsetail Falls in the Columbia River Gorge.
At 88 ft, it stands above roughly 65% of the 775 documented falls in this guide.
The falls are fed by Horsetail Creek. You'll find it in Multnomah, Oregon. It is protected within Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area (USFS).
This is a short hike waterfall: reached by a short trail, generally under about a mile each way. A short walk gets you to the viewpoint, so it works for most casual visitors and families. The walk to the main viewpoint runs about 0.8 miles round trip. Base a visit out of Corbett, the closest town.
When to go: spring. Expect the strongest flow in spring and after big storms, with a quieter trickle by late summer; confirm current conditions with the land manager before committing to the drive.
