*I’ve included photos from each of these waterfalls. Any images that do not have credit given were taken by me.

If you’re dreaming of a ceremony surrounded by lush forest, misty air, and the sound of rushing water, a waterfall elopement in Oregon might just be your perfect match.
To many, “Oregon” and “Waterfalls” are synonymous. There are around 230 named waterfalls in the state, but that number easily soars to over 350 when you include unnamed and seasonal waterfalls. As such, choosing a waterfall for your elopement might feel overwhelming.
From the mossy forests of the Columbia River Gorge to the tucked-away treasures of Southern Oregon, these falls offer more than just jaw-dropping backdrops—they’re an experience.
This guide will hopefully serve to help you better understand your options. Whether you’re planning an intimate hike-in ceremony or a quiet moment at the base of a roaring cascade, Oregon has the perfect waterfall that speaks to your wild love story.
**NOTE— Some of these waterfalls are not one that you’ll easily find other elopements online—I’ve simply found them in my exploring and/or research and decided that they’d work for an elopement in some form or another. Still others might be famous waterfalls that some people have eloped at, but I disagree with the decision to do so, for safety or Leave No Trace reasons.
***A NOTE ABOUT FIRE— Additionally, many waterfalls that you might find on AllTrails or in a guidebook have been impacted by fires in the past 10 years. While the waterfalls still flow, the surrounding areas are often landscapes full of dead snags. Some with new shrubby growth taking place, which is interesting for ecologists, but not the best elopement scenery… And some of the trails you might find in your googling are closed completely until further notice. Some waterfalls that have been impacted are included in the lists and others are not. In the body of this resource, I’ve noted if the falls have been affected.
Land Acknowledgement–
Before we dive into the beauty of Oregon’s waterfalls, I want to take a moment to recognize that every location mentioned in this guide exists on the traditional lands of Indigenous peoples who have cared for these places since time immemorial.
Oregon is home to many Indigenous nations, including:
- Burns Paiute Tribe
- The Confederated Tribes of the Coos, Lower Umpqua and Siuslaw Indians
- The Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde
- The Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians
- The Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation
- The Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs
- The Coquille Indian Tribe
- The Cow Creek Band of Umpqua Tribe of Indians
- The Klamath Tribes
Additionally, I want to acknowledge the many other Indigenous peoples who have ancestral ties to these lands, including the Modoc, Kalapuya, Molalla, Clatsop, Chinook, Takelma, Shasta, and others who were displaced or forcibly removed.
I encourage all couples and visitors to approach these lands with deep respect—for the ecosystems, the cultural history, and the people who continue to hold connection to them today. To learn more or to give back, consider supporting organizations such as the Native American Youth and Family Center (NAYA), the Affiliated Tribes of Northwest Indians, or local land trusts with Indigenous partnerships.

These waterfalls do change pretty drastically in flow, depending on the season. For a more dramatic, heavy cascade, I recommend Spring or even early Winter, after we’ve gotten some rain here in Oregon. But late summer would be a good time for this hike if you want to play in the water.

There is a gorgeous off-grid A-Frame cabin about 20 minutes from this waterfall. Views, wood fired hot tub, wooden interior… so pretty.

Celilo Falls— not an elopement location, but a history lesson and an homage to a devastating cultural loss*
These falls are actually not around anymore, but they are, in my opinion, always worth mentioning. Celilo Falls was a massive system of cascades where indigenous people from all over the region would come. The salmon that swam through these falls sustained many nations, and the area was a thriving center of commerce and cultural significance.
As some of the OLDEST evidence of human occupation in North America was found in Oregon, it is safe to assume that Celilo Falls was extremely important for indigenous people for a very long time.

Once The Dalles Dam was built and slowed the flow of the Columbia River in 1957, Celilo Falls were underwater shortly after, effectively eliminating centuries (maybe millennia) of culture.
*I believe it is important to understand the history, both natural and cultural, of the lands we live on and recreate on. Painful history doesn’t go away because we refuse to acknowledge it. It is best to confront it and become an advocate for oppressed and disenfranchised communities in whatever way we can.

This is one of my favorite places to hike in Oregon. It is a little crowded, but that’s for a reason.

Start planning your waterfall adventure elopement
Whether you’re drawn to the rugged cliffs of the Columbia River Gorge, the misty forests of the Coast Range, or the stunning serenity of the Southern Oregon Cascades, Oregon’s waterfalls offer endless possibilities for your dream elopement. From towering waterfalls surrounded by moss-covered trees to hidden gems tucked away in quiet, secluded canyons, each spot provides a unique setting for saying “I do” in nature’s embrace.
The best part about Oregon’s Waterfalls is that they are varied and widely dispersed around much of the state– it is very possible, and I often recommend it, to combine a waterfall with another feature or landscape or activity or whatever y’all can think up!





From crystal-clear streams in dense forests to dramatic volcanic landscapes, you can find the perfect waterfall that speaks to your love story—whether you want to get up close and personal or simply enjoy the view from a serene overlook. Whatever your style, these majestic waterfalls provide the backdrop for a ceremony as wild and beautiful as the landscape itself.
