TYGH VALLEY, O REG O N W H ITE R IVE R FALLS STATE PARK Out in the dry wheat lands of Oregon's high desert, there is an oasis. And hidden in that quiet, green place, there is a frothing, churning, thundering 150-foot waterfall. Some have compared it to Niagara. Others are reminded of Yosemite. But when you're there, W hite River Falls State Park is truly an Oregon kind of place. Standing at the lookout point, visitors experience the power of the falls close up. They hear the roar of the water, feel the spray. And, of course, the view is one of the most dramatic in the mid-Columbia river basin. White River Falls is a dynamic part of Oregon's natural history. I t has also played an im portant role in the region's human history. In the early 1900s, local farmers put the falls to work grinding grain into flo u r in a small water-powered m ill. Eventually the success of the grist m ill led to the construction of a hydroelectric powerplant, which generated electricity for all of Wasco and Sherman Counties from 1910 until The Dalles Dam was b u ilt in 1960. Much of the original building is still standing and is accessible at the base of the falls. All across the state, Lottery profits help maintain state parks like W hite River Falls and keep them open to the public. In fact, Lottery profits help support all 230 Oregon state parks. The ones you know and the ones you don't.
