About this place

Added by Liam McNally

Punchbowl Falls is a secluded swimming hole near Mt. Hood

Getting to Punchbowl Falls is a super quick hike to a fun cliff-jumping swimming hole and waterfall. Be careful hiking the steep trail to the falls. Make use of the rope.

Be VERY careful approaching the edge of the cliff higher up and know your limits when it comes to jumping. Always walk down and swim where you plan to jump to ensure there are no rocks in your landing path. 

Note: This Punchbowl Falls is just outside of Dee, Oregon along Highway 281. This is different from Metlako and Punchbowl Falls in the  Columbia River Gorge.
