Eagle Creek is a creek in Hood River County, Oregon, United States. The creek drains into the Columbia River with its outlet on the Columbia River Gorge. It is located in Mount Hood National Forest.
Punch Bowl Falls, located on Eagle Creek, is a remote waterfall that has been featured in inspirational posters (such as the one shown below) and other media. The Columbia River Highway crosses the creek's outlet to the Columbia River, but a substantial hike through some occasionally rough terrain is required to get to the creek's namesake waterfall.
