Tunnel Falls is a unique waterfall and maybe one of the most beautiful you have ever seen. It is roaring into a bowl and you will pass it through a tunnel with a lot of greenery. The tunnel was artificially created in 1915 to pass the falls.

Hiking

Built in 1915, the tunnel behind Tunnel Falls was blasted out as a way to get around the falls on the way up to Wahtum Lake. The steep basalt cliffs are lined with maiden hair ferns.
