White River Falls is located in White River Falls State Park in North Central Oregon near the town of Maupin. There are two distinct parts to the falls. The top tier is split into anywhere from three to six distinct segments, and dramatically drops 75 feet over a horseshoe-shaped ledge in basalt rock. The bottom tier plunges another 41 feet into a large pool. In 2014 the falls were renamed as two separate falls: White River Falls (the top one) and Celestial Falls (the lower falls). Regardless of what they are called, these waterfalls are spectacular!
The White River as it flows over the White River Falls in Oregon's White River Falls State Park. The White River originates on Mount Hood about 40 miles upstream of White River Falls. It gathers water from smaller tributaries along the way as it flows toward its confluence with the Deschutes River, and becomes a fairly substantial river by the time it reaches White River Falls. The result is a rather spectacular 75-foot waterfall that can stretch to as much as 250 feet in width.
