The Falls have been the center of industrial activity for over 150 years. The Willamette Falls Heritage Foundation - (visit link) - is dedicated to preserving the history of the Falls and is an excellent source of information. The Falls can not be accessed on foot. It is possible to travel by boat and get close to the base of the Falls. For most of us, the best we can do is to visit the several overlooks in the vicinity. The one listed below is located in Oregon City along US Route 99 East. Another overlook is accessed from northbound Interstate Highway 205 at these coordinates - 45° 21.098' and 122° 37.592'
