Its a nice stop by the road. Found this viewpoint randomly. It was a pretty place. Good photo op.

It is so cool seeing the second largest waterfall with its torrents of water coming down.

One of the best historic places I have been to. The old highway is wonderful, original rocks on side of road, watching the falls with the empty paper mills is very Erie, but thats what makes it so cool and it just draws you in more. Everyone should absolutely go and see this majestic place that takes you back in time and dont forget your camera

Great piece of American history, the ending of the Oregon trail and the settling of the land and river to our benefit. Through the Sager family and the movie Seven Alone, I have wanted to check this off the bucket list. I am glad our family came.

What a fantastic water scenery... brings you back in the glorious days of the mills. Awesome view.

Interesting view of the falls and the different levels of water. Lots of old buildings, most abandoned? You look down at the area and cant help but think that the area needs to be revitalized. I would love to sit on a patio down there and wonder thru shops and businesses.There is a plaque that talks about the history of the locks and paper mills but I thought this was also where the native Americans USED TO SALMON FISH? That should be mentioned and it would be cool if the practice was restored! I could not see how large ships used to traverse the locks? That would be cool to restore also.

This is oregon city good spot for history.But thats not allPeople travel for miles to see it.And boring sets in all walks of life..Cant go downto river no where.So its just a stop inThe rest of.o.c. has so much history.The elevators great.Old houses, library,Museums,oregon history of lewis and clarks oregon trail end park .Plan all the sites if you want to see o.c. loop .Once again the fallsSightseeing.from above is just a sight10 min is about sufficient.

Came from A.Z. 2 c my son (its been 20 yrs) the falls ate peaceful u need 2 c museum and the mill

Nice overlook but the area needs some rehabilitation to get rid of the old papermill works chemical tanks and other stuff. Could be beautiful after some hard work.

You couldnt see much from the actual viewpoint . Theres a better view across the highway if you pull over on the side of the road.

Nice to get out of your car to stretch your legs & witness beautiful scenery of nature. Flowing water, birds, plants, fish...

Easy to pull off and back onto rt. 99, as long as youre headed south. Great view, and nice information posted about the size, history, and proposed future of the waterfront

Beautiful overlook of the falls. Nowhere to sit, and heavy traffic but not too bad.

Couldnt get close to the waterfall

Small parking lot ight off a busy main road and no walkable trail. Good for pictures, bit re-entering traffic can be rough because cars drive at high speeds.

What a way to be introduced to Portland Oregon. Amazing history. It will be awesome if the City ever gets the revitalization off the groud. Tours would be fascinating of the old buildings.

Spectacular and a nice area....

You can see how industry ruined the nature beauty

I looked at the falls one last time. And seen the old ppr plant.

They need to do something with this place, a riverwalk would be cool...

I love the old derelict buildings.

Very peaceful place

OK view, but being in a high traffic area and not well maintained.

Beautiful viewpoint

Fantastic place to view the old Blue Heron Paper Mill. As the season changes the water level changes and is always a breathtaking site to take in.

Beautiful view of the falls.

These falls are small in height but big in water volume. I wish Portland would clean up around them and make a walk way to see them closer...

Very pretty place. We went to the wrong side unfortunately. It was just a pull out with some informational plaques. It was still beautiful with the sunset.

This view point is outstanding! There is a clear, up close view of the falls and you can see for quite a distance both directions. Perfect for photography, and just general scenic viewing!

Good lookout. Love then new signs that explain the falls and factories better.

Love it

Neat to visit and to see power turbines underground so you dont even know they are there.

Sure would make a cool huanted house, casino, water recreation area... but still cool historical place.

This is one of the most disgusting sights I have see. What should be an amazing natural wonder was long ago destroyed by industry. To view it now is to look upon a cesspool of decaying buildings completely violating a once proud and amazing sight. I hope the efforts to reclaim these falls are successful. I would not spend the time to see them again or recommend it to anyone else unless nature is dramatically restored. It made me re hate all that is a metropolitan city area. The city should be ashamed to call this their history.

So pretty and really easy to access.

Scenic view of falls, River and old paper mill. The old bar or pub, across the street is almost an historic landmark inside.

I am a happy Oregonian.So there all 5 stars.Enjoy.

Super pretty

The Falls could look nicer if the surrounding structures werent so delapicated, rusted out, forgotten, abandoned, and just unattractive.

And there are Eagles here

Cant see much from here go up the hill is better

Easy access and you see a lot from one spot

Unique area along the river. Not much in falls to see though

Great views of the Willamette River

So pretty... A beautiful spot for photos

I had read the history of these falls prior to the visit. I thought it would be incredible to see them in all their glory. What i got instead was a great view of how selfish and discusting humanity is. Nothing in the original history i read prepared me for the eye sore in front of me. I stood there in disgust. I didnt even take a photo as i truly did not want a record of such an embarassing and gross use of a natural wonder. It is literally a road side pull out with a great view of poluted waters and spillways where people had dammed it up for the mill and industrious buildings they placed here. A stunning native amarican land mark destroyed by the selfish white man. Dont waste your time visiting this place. The trafficand eye sore is not worth the trouble.

Great view of what is there. Would love to see it when/if the clean the area up.

Great view of history .

Great overlook, and the best place to view the falls until the legacy project is built

Great views!

Great view of important local historical sights

Room for mayby 6-8 cars. Once the now-closed paper mill is torn down and redeveloped, it will be a good view.

Absolutely beautifulMust stop and see

So much history and love the map of what each building is.

First time there.

I love this place. Happy to live close.

Gorgeous place right off the highway or in Oregon City. A must-see for its beauty and historic significance.

I get that its a power generator but its sooo ugly to look at. If out to see waterfalls, dont bother, you cant unsee this eye sore.

Nice overlook not much to do

Water is low, Raining to fill back up!!

Interesting mixture of industry and nature

I love the view of the falls, changes with the seasons! Its beautiful and amazing!

Think there must have been a dry spell as there was no waterfalls. Shane really as we came especially to see them.

New plaxks describe what all the buildings are and were

Great place to take selfies .

Beautiful ️️

Beautiful easy parking take lots of picgtures

Cool little road side attraction!

My spouse and I spent a few minutes at the end of our date night. It has an amazing view of the river and some informational plaques.

Look back on the history of Oregon city Oregon. End point of the Oregon trail.

Amazing historical spot

Industrial and very interesting

Nice scenery.

Falls are diverted, nothing to see.

Government shutdown had this place dirty, but its potential makes for a higher review

Beautiful view. Thats all.
