Willamette Falls Trust

Willamette Falls Trust is a nonprofit organization dedicated to raising funds and engaging the community to bring to life a magnificent public riverwalk at Willamette Falls. The vision for this project includes an overlook at the breathtaking precipice of the Falls, a seamless connection to Oregon City's downtown, and opportunities for visitors to gain a deeper understanding of the historical significance of Willamette Falls. This awe-inspiring location, the second largest waterfall in North America by volume, holds a rich tapestry of cultural and natural heritage.

Native peoples have relied on the Falls for centuries, gathering food and resources from its shores. However, industrialization in the 20th century caused ecological and cultural damage, impacting the resources available to both Native peoples and early settlers. Willamette Falls Trust is leading the way in creating public access to this unique site through collaborative efforts with partners, including representatives from various tribes.

Our mission is to ensure that future generations have a meaningful connection to Willamette Falls, with a focus on restoration advocacy, community engagement, and amplifying Tribal voices. Join us in experiencing the grandeur of Willamette Falls and supporting this important endeavor.
