Multnomah Falls, at a 620' drop, is the tallest waterfall in the state of Oregon. It is the most visited natural recreation site in the Pacific Northwest with more than 2 million visitors stopping by each year to take in the views. Fed by underground springs from Larch Mountain, the flow over the falls varies, but is usually highest during the winter and spring seasons. Built in 1925, the Lodge is on the National Register of Historic Places. The U.S Forest Service Visitor Center, snack bar and gift shop are located on the lower level of the lodge and a restaurant is located on the second level.
