Willamette Falls -
Is it
natural or artificial? The Pacific Northwest's largest (not highest)
42 foot high, one-quarter mile wide Willamette Falls is a natural
rock formation over which the Willamette River roars. But, on top of
this rock formation is a turn-of-the century concrete dam along the
lip of Willamette Falls. We won't review all the industrial uses of
this powerful force of nature - just tell you how to find and view
it.

the Oregon City Bridge to OR-99-E, turn right and about one mile
further you will see the official scenic overlook.
