DOUGAN CREEK FALLS
   Skamania County, Washington

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

Dougan Falls on the Washougal River is the major waterfall of the immediate area, but Dougan Creek also slides 12 feet into a beautiful little orange and blue pool in the same area. A small viewing deck overlooks the falls from within the Dougan Creek Campground picnic area, but several branches block totally clear views. The pool at the base of the falls serves as a fantastic swimming hole in the summer.
