Twister Falls

Twister Falls is a two-tiered waterfall on Eagle Creek that drops about 148 feet through rocky cliffs in multiple stages. The water flows into a clear pool at the base, with the descent creating a dramatic display as it moves through the rocky terrain.

Native American tribes lived in the Eagle Creek region for thousands of years, relying on the area's water resources for survival. The waterfall's natural power has continuously shaped the surrounding landscape through the erosion of rock over time.

Local hiking communities maintain detailed trail logs and documentation about the waterfall, sharing experiences and safety information with fellow outdoor enthusiasts.

Reaching this waterfall requires an 11-kilometer hike on the Eagle Creek Trail with narrow paths and cable railings along steep cliff edges. The terrain is challenging and demands careful attention, especially when wet or during poor visibility.

The upper tier creates a distinctive crossing pattern as water flows downward, which is why some call it Crossover Falls or Bowtie Falls instead. This pattern forms due to the specific arrangement of rocks and is most visible when water flow is at certain levels.
