Tucked away in the emerald green forests of Northwest Oregon is a remarkable natural wonder: Wahkeena Springs. On a wooded hill high above the majestic Wahkeena Falls, pristine springwater gushes out of the earth and creates a gorgeous creek that cascades through the forest before forming the 242-foot waterfall. The sight of it is beautiful and surreal.

You can find this wondrous spring at the end of a lovely 3-mile hike beginning at the Multnomah Falls Lodge. Here, take a look:

The unusual spring gushes directly out of the forest floor and flows downhill before forming Wahkeena Falls.
