Sahalie Falls

Sahalie Falls is a 100-foot waterfall on the McKenzie River that plunges over a lava dam into a pool of turquoise water. The name comes from the Chinook word for 'heaven.' The falls are connected to nearby Koosah Falls by a 0.4-mile trail through old-growth forest.

Koosah Falls

Koosah Falls drops 70 feet over a basalt cliff on the McKenzie River, approximately a quarter mile downstream from Sahalie Falls. Spring-fed tributaries emerge from the surrounding lava walls, adding side cascades to the main falls. The pool below displays vivid blue-green coloration from the volcanic mineral content.
