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.
