Dougan Falls

Found this place from just driving around. Great day place and campground. In the heat of summer it can get pretty busy, but worth it. Pretty sure you need the discovery pass, could be wrong tho.

We were the only ones at main falls until about 12, magical!

Such a great place to swim. We drove up from portland at 2pm on a friday and the traffic getting out of the city was substantial. Once on the way to the gorge however it was relatively uncrowded and a spectacular drive. The falls themselves have two sides you can swim in -the part directly connected to the falls was more crowded and cramped but directly next to the falls whereas the otherside is pools connected to the falls with more places to lay out (i stayed on the side farther from the falls, it appears to have more families/kids because the currents seem less dangerous.) Parking was not terribly bad, i assume it would be far worse on hotter days. the hike/path down is minimal, takes 5 minutes max. the current is very strong and the water is not terribly deep so do be careful when swimming. the water is so clean and clear but ice cold!! one of the best swimming experiences ive ever had nonetheless.

Beautiful views. Too wet to safely walk about but doable if you are properly prepared.
