Pretty remote location in the middle of September when the summer crowds have long gone. Located at the literal end of Washougal River Rd. Wide parking area. Nice place to take a break and plan your trek into the back country.

Wonderful area!! It was so beautiful and clean. We enjoyed cooling off here after a long day in the sun. A heads up do not bring open containers. They were handing out open container tickets right before we showed up. Be responsible and enjoy.

Stunning swimming hole and chill vibe. Be aware that there no phone service. Water is cold when you jump in and can take your breath away. Bring floaties, lifejackets and something to lay on. There are rocks under the water in a lot of areas so check before you jump in! You need to print out a pass online first to park. Wear good hiking shoes as it's very steep and rocky. Not great for kids or dogs. We packed out a bunch of other people's trash! Please stop littering this is such gorgeous spot, please respect nature.

Lovely spot. So beautiful. Bring good shoes and something to sit on as it's all rock, no beach. Somewhat treacherous trip down from the car, short trip though. Deep enough to swim. Good to lay out on your float. We even saw folks jumping off the rocks into the water.

Didn't get many pics. Was having too much fun swimming. Not far from Portland, the water was so cold, it literally took the breath from my body. I got acclimated and had an amazing time. You'll be surprised how sore you can get swimming against the current!

Just happened to stumble upon this beautiful place while exploring new roads in my area via motorcycle. Other than the graffiti it is a beautiful sight to see. Would be a great place to cool down on a hot day.

Such a great place to swim. We drove up from portland at 2pm on a friday and the traffic getting out of the city was substantial. Once on the way to the gorge however it was relatively uncrowded and a spectacular drive. The falls themselves have two sides you can swim in -the part directly connected to the falls was more crowded and cramped but directly next to the falls whereas the otherside is pools connected to the falls with more places to lay out (i stayed on the side farther from the falls, it appears to have more families/kids because the currents seem less dangerous.) Parking was not terribly bad, i assume it would be far worse on hotter days. the hike/path down is minimal, takes 5 minutes max. the current is very strong and the water is not terribly deep so do be careful when swimming. the water is so clean and clear but ice cold!! one of the best swimming experiences ive ever had nonetheless.
