If you are planning a trip to Multnomah Falls and the Gorge you should be aware that the section of the Historic Columbia River Highway (HCRH) between Wahkeena Falls and Multnomah Falls will be closed to all traffic - including bicycles and vehicles - from October 1 until Memorial Day 2025.

But don’t worry! Visitors will still be able to access all the breathtaking attractions along the road! Here are the key details:

• Vehicles traveling eastbound on HCRH can access destinations such as Vista House, Bridal Veil, and Wahkeena Falls prior to the closure. There is no access to Multnomah Falls by heading eastbound on the Historic Highway. Eastbound vehicles will be turned around at the Wahkeena Falls Trailhead, just before reaching Multnomah Falls. Please note that parking is limited at Wahkeena Falls.

• Vehicles traveling westbound on HCRH can access destinations such as Horsetail Falls and Ainsworth State Park prior to the closure. Westbound vehicles will be turned around at the Multnomah Falls Lodge.

• Drivers to Multnomah Falls may park in the lot at Exit 31 from I-84. I-84 is not impacted by this construction. You can also access Sasquatch Shuttle’s paid parking lot via Exit 35.

• Other sections of the Historic Highway will remain open during construction.
