Dillon Falls, Cascade waterfall in Deschutes National Forest, Oregon.
The Deschutes River drops 15 feet at the initial plunge before continuing through a sequence of rapids in a narrow volcanic gorge.
Leander Dillon, who filed timber claims near the falls in 1906, gave his name to this location before perishing in a fire the following year.
The Deschutes River at Dillon Falls served as a vital resource for Native American communities who used these waters for fishing and transportation.
Visitors need a Forest Pass to access the falls through the Dillon Falls Day Use Area, which includes parking spaces and a 0.3-mile accessible trail.
The waterfall maintains an average width of 50 feet and reaches a total height between 40 to 60 feet through its cascading sequence.
