Eagle Creek (Multnomah County, Oregon)

Eagle Creek is a creek in Hood River County, Oregon, United States. The creek drains into the Columbia River in Multnomah County, with its outlet on the Columbia River Gorge. It is in the Mount Hood National Forest. The Eagle Creek Trail – the most popular trail in the Gorge [ [http://www.fs.fed.us/r6/columbia/trails/trail_440.htm USDA Forest Service Eagle Creek trail #440 information] ] – follows the creek.

Tunnel Falls and Punch Bowl Falls, located on Eagle Creek, are remote and scenic waterfalls along the creek. The Historic Columbia River Highway crosses the creek's outlet to the Columbia River. A substantial hike through some occasionally rough terrain is required to get to the creek's namesake waterfall.

Punch Bowl Falls has been featured in inspirational posters and other media (see illustration below).
