Yakso Falls, Waterfall in Cascade Range, Oregon, United States.
The 70-foot Yakso Falls splits into a fan shape around a large basalt outcrop, creating two distinct water streams across its 25-foot width.
The name originates from Chinook trading language, where Yakso translates to 'hair of the head', referring to the waterfall's appearance.
The area contains multiple waterfalls within a five-mile radius, including Hemlock Falls, Cedar Creek Falls, and Grotto Falls along Little River.
A 0.7-mile trail from Lake in the Forest Campground leads through old-growth forest to reach the falls, requiring bug spray during summer months.
The waterfall maintains an average flow rate of 50 cubic feet per second and sits at an elevation of 3,100 feet above sea level.
