Fairy Falls (Oregon)

Fairy Falls (Oregon)

Fairy Falls is a 20-foot waterfall on the Oregon side of the Columbia River Gorge in the United States. As part of Wahkeena Creek, Fairy Falls is located upstream from the much larger and more famous Wahkeena Falls. While small, this fan-shaped waterfall is a photographer's destination because of its beauty. The creek cascades through a mossy rock slide lined with ferns, until rocky ledges of basalt break the water into various lacy streams.
