White River Falls State Park

near Tygh Valley on Highway 216

One of Oregon's secret hideaways. Watch the White River plunge 90’ over a basalt shelf.
A rugged quarter-mile trail takes you down deep within the canyon to the historic hydroelectric power plant at the base of the falls.
The power plant supplied electricity to Wasco and Sherman Counties from 1910 until the completion of The Dalles Dam in 1960. The ruins are closed to exploring but the concrete dam is still standing.
