Wahkeena Falls, Cascading waterfall in Columbia River Gorge, Oregon, US

Wahkeena Falls is a 242-foot (74 m) waterfall in the Columbia River Gorge, about 13 miles east of Troutdale, Oregon. Unlike nearby Multnomah Falls, its water does not plunge directly to the ground but falls in a subtler cascading flow. A 0.2-mile trail from the parking lot leads to a stone bridge crossing the main part of the falls.

The Wahkeena Creek Bridge below the falls, an 18-foot reinforced-concrete slab span, is a contributing structure of the Historic Columbia River Highway, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983 and designated a National Historic Landmark District in 2000. The falls lie along that highway about 13 miles east of Troutdale.

The name "Wahkeena" is an English transliteration of a Native American phrase, reportedly Yakama, meaning "most beautiful"; spellings of the word are considered dubious. The falls appear in numerous travel guides and photography books.

From the parking lot at the base, a 0.2-mile (320 m) trail leads to the stone bridge over the main part of the falls; the path then continues east to Multnomah Falls. The falls can also be seen directly from the Historic Columbia River Highway.

Below the falls, the Wahkeena Creek Bridge is an 18-foot reinforced-concrete slab span. It counts as a contributing structure of the Historic Columbia River Highway, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983 and designated a National Historic Landmark District in 2000.
