Discover the majestic Metlako Falls, a stunning punchbowl waterfall located on Eagle Creek in the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area in Hood River County, Oregon. Standing at a height of 31 meters (101 ft), this natural wonder is the furthest downstream of the major waterfalls on Eagle Creek and serves as the upstream limit for salmon spawning.
Named after the Indian goddess of salmon by the Mazamas in 1915, Metlako Falls offers a breathtaking sight despite challenges such as landslides and wildfires affecting access to the official viewpoint. Local hikers have advocated for the development of an alternative viewpoint to enhance the visitor experience and appreciation of this remarkable natural attraction.
