Youngs River Falls, Cascade waterfall near Astoria, Oregon.
The Youngs River plunges 54 feet in height and 45 feet in width, forming a single drop into a deep pool surrounded by forest.
Lieutenant William Broughton of the Vancouver Expedition discovered the Youngs River in 1792, naming it after Admiral Sir George Young of the Royal Navy.
The waterfall location has served as a filming site for multiple productions, including Free Willy 2 and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III.
A designated parking area connects to a quarter-mile trail leading to the base of the falls, with viewing points available from both above and below.
The pool at the base of the falls reaches depths between five and seven feet, making it different from other shallow-based waterfalls in Oregon.
