Beaver Falls, is a waterfall located near the town of Clatskanie in Columbia County, in the U.S. state of Oregon.^[1]

Description

The waterfall is formed as Beaver Creek sheets out onto a wide channel over a 40 feet shoot at high velocity into a natural amphitheater of layered basalt.^[1] The cascade and its river trail are surrounded by Douglas fir, western red-cedar, western hemlock, and big-leaf maple. Sword fern, Oregon grape, and salal are very common plant life growing beneath the forest canopy.^[2]
