Visited 7/16/19, Wahkeena falls Day Use picnic area is a day use area only. It is gated at both ends when not open. Open hours are 8am to 8pm. There is a host on spot. There is clean flushing toilet bathrooms near the entrance. A covered party area near the bathrooms. Maybe 10 picnic areas with grills and 5 picnic areas with stone grills. Plenty of parking. A beautiful area for anyone visiting. There are also some information kiosks and some small trails. There are 2 or 3 water fountains. No camping allowed here.

Oregon has a lot of beautiful waterfalls and this one incredibly beautiful. The combination or green and gray grasses add up to the beauty of the fall. You feel refreshed and relaxed just looking at it. Make sure to have good shoes on because some areas are slippery.

We know we've entered the waterfalls area of the Historic Columbia Highway tour to Multnomah Falls when we get to Wahkeena Falls. This is the first waterfalls after you enter the highway from the Bridal Veil exit from I 84 East. No exit to here going West on I 84. The road continues through the falls past Multnomah Falls and eventually leads to on ramp of I 84 East again. Beautiful detour, but please do not take if you're in a hurry. The road is narrow, historic (old) and has the minimum of railing in many places. If you're a new driver, I don't encourage you to drive as you may be minus a rear view mirror as the tour is so awesome it's hard to keep car in between narrow lanes and one place there's a wall that pins you close. Recent snows and heavy rains have softened the hills and slides have brought down rocks and dirt to close the road until crews cleared the road. I believe the road is open again (spring break 2017). Our trip last time was at the end of a big snow, right before the thaw. Our tradition is to drive up one time a season, perhaps more if we have guests visit from out of town. Over the years the roads and falls have become more crowded. Parking is sparse during the weekends and you must not leave valuables in your car where they can be seen. If you can, leave your valuables at home. Our hiking days are in the past, so we may stop and commune a few minutes, but then we resume our tour. Several times a year, visitors slide off the side of these hills as the trails can be steep and are usually wet. Even in the summer months they could be slick from dampness. Be kind to others and keep your pets on lease and do take something to pack out the waste. Best to follow the old traditions: Take only photos and leave only footprints. It's the way we can save the beauty for the future. If nature makes a mess, that's one thing, when we leave a mess, it's a shame.

Excellent spot for a fun day of hiking. It's pretty steep most the way around and you will most likely want to bring boots! Several beautiful viewpoints and waterfalls along the way, and some neat wildlife too if you're lucky.

The rain was heavy when we visited this area, so we couldn't sit and relax. But I guess it would be a nice picnic area in the summer.
