'''Multnomah Falls''' is a [[waterfall]] located on [[Multnomah Creek]] in the [[Columbia River Gorge]], east of [[Troutdale, Oregon|Troutdale]], between [[Corbett, Oregon|Corbett]] and [[Dodson, Oregon|Dodson]], [[Oregon]], United States. The waterfall is accessible from the [[Historic Columbia River Highway]] and [[Interstate 84 in Oregon|Interstate 84]]. Spanning two tiers on [[basalt]] cliffs, it is the tallest waterfall in the state of Oregon at {{Convert|620|ft|m|0|abbr=on}} in height.{{sfn|Roza|2010|p=11}}  The Multnomah Creek Bridge, built in 1914, crosses below the falls, and is listed on the [[National Register of Historic Places]].

The land surrounding the falls was developed by [[Simon Benson]] in the early-twentieth century, with a pathway, viewing bridge, and adjacent lodge being constructed in 1925. The Multnomah Falls Lodge and the surrounding footpaths at the falls were added to the [[National Register of Historic Places]] in 1981. Contemporarily, the state of Oregon maintains a switchback trail that ascends to a [[scree|talus slope]] {{convert|100|ft|m}} above the falls, and descends to an [[observation deck]] that overlooks the falls' edge. The falls attract over two million visitors each year,<ref name=sos>{{cite web|work=State of Oregon|publisher=Oregon Secretary of State|title=Multnomah Falls|access-date=December 29, 2017|url=http://sos.oregon.gov/archives/exhibits/columbia-river-highway/Pages/history-multnomah-falls.aspx}}</ref> making it the most-visited natural recreation site in the U.S. [[Pacific Northwest]].<ref name=usda/>
