Youngs River Falls is a 54-foot (16 m) tall[2] waterfall on the Youngs River in central Clatsop County, northwestern Oregon, United States.[1] They are located about 10 miles (16 km) south of Astoria.

History

The first Americans to report on the falls were members of a hunting party from the Lewis and Clark Expedition, in March 1806.[2]

In the media

The falls have appeared in movies such as Free Willy 2: The Adventure Home, Benji the Hunted and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III.[2]

In July 2014, Tod Gary Wagoner, of Williamsburg, Colorado, died after jumping from the falls, the "first [such] fatality at the falls in a while."[3] In April 2016, Joseph T. Nestor, a 34-year-old Astoria man, fell and died from injuries at the falls.[4]
