Coopey Falls, Horsetail waterfall in Columbia River Gorge, Oregon, United States.
The 150-foot waterfall cascades down Coopey Creek through multiple tiers, creating white water patterns against dark basalt rock formations.
Charles Coopey, a British-born tailor who settled in Portland, owned 1200 acres around the falls and planned to use water power for textile production.
The Franciscan Sisters of the Eucharist maintain the grounds around the falls, integrating the natural feature into their religious community space.
Visitors can view the falls from Angels Rest Trail or request permission from the convent staff to access a closer viewing point.
In 1921, the falls powered a 20-horsepower generator that illuminated a promotional sign for the Oregon 1925 Exposition.
