Twin Bridges Falls
   Skamania County, Washington

[ Physical Makeup ]  [ Pictures ]  [ Maps ]  [ Update History ]

Twin Bridges Falls is a small but rather unique waterfall along Canyon Creek east of Chelatchie. The falls are found in between two bridges spanning Canyon Creek (hence its name) where the creek runs into a domed protrusion of basalt and slides 11 feet. What makes the falls interesting is the two channels split apart and fall at an opposing angle of almost 120 degrees from one another, which makes photographing both segments at once very difficult.
