One of Oregon's secret hideaways is located just east of Tygh Valley off Hwy. 216.
The park offers excellent viewpoints of the 90-foot White River falls. A rugged quarter-mile trail takes hikers deep within the canyon to the historic hydroelectric power plant at the base of the powerful falls.
The park is a popular picnicking, hiking and fishing retreat for visitors to the Deschutes River corridor.
Opening early each spring when the desert flowers are in bloom and closing after the leaves turn in the fall, this park offers an insight into human and geologic history.
The chasm of the falls tells a geological story of the power of unleashed water. The old grist pond tells the story of people learning to use that power.
The hydroelectric plant at the bottom tells the story of human ingenuity and persistence as the Pacific Northwest’s abundant natural energy was turned into electricity.
