Easily accessible. Paved parking at the Falls which is right on US Hwy 84. Restaurant, bar, restrooms, and gift shop right there. Outdoor eating area (tables & chairs) if you wish to picnic as we did. The Falls are viewable from the hwy. There is a paved walkway with a slight incline if you wish to get closer. There is also a paved or well groomed trail if you want to hike to the top of Falls. Just beautiful; something you don't want to miss.

Beautiful waterfall and easy to access from the interstate. Large area for parking and not that far of a walk for elders or handicap. Those in an electric wheelchair could still make the journey to the first waterfall because there are paved ramps and no stairs in order to make the first part of this journey.

Much as we would have loved to walk up to the falls, we were unable to find anywhere to park, either at Multnomah itself or at Wahkeena, which is about 1/4 of a mile down the road.
We had read in reviews that parking was a problem but naively thought that mid week in March would be a relatively quiet time, not so.
It would be worth doing your research before a visit to see if you can find out the quietest times to avoid the frustration of having to turn around and come back again.
That said, the falls can be seen from the road as you pass, or as you queue and wait for that precious parking space. All we managed were photos taken from the car windows, but perhaps we shall be luckier on another visit.

The falls were beautiful. Multiple viewing places. Easy parking off the freeway. Well worth a stop if traveling along I-84, or coming from Portland.

The hike up the falls was worth every step! The beauty of this area is breathtaking and standing on the walkway looking down gave a great perspective. God’s creation is amazing!

We did not enter the falls area as my wife had hurt her knee & could not walk. We were able to find a parking spot in the interstate parking lot where were were able to get many great photos. There was not much water coming over the falls as the area was in a drought, but it was still impressive.

There was no where to park so we caught a glimpse as we slowly drove by. No social distancing here! It is an amazing waterfall right off the old highway. People wre parked in the lot and up and down the side of the road.

I have seen many waterfalls. This is one of the top ten. Beautiful. You can walk up a paved path to the bridge that is in the middle of the waterfall. You can keep going for another mile to the top. You can also walk down and put your feet in the water. Very nice.

We were visiting friends in Washington and they have the Columbia River Gorge as their backyard! This is the first place they took us to show off. We hiked up to the very top view point and totally loved it! It was crowded at the bottom, but the crowds thinned out a lot by the time we got to the top! It is a "must see" when visiting the Gorge

In August 2022, If we park in the parking lot off hwy 84 and do the Multnomah Falls Hike starting at 9:00, can anyone give me advice on what time I’d be able to get to The Historic Columbia River highway at exit 28? I need to know as we now need to buy the timed permits and I don’t know the roads and especially how quickly traffic will be moving or interfering with movement in August. Thank you

Ues, there are several. We stayed in Troutdale, OR or Gresham, OR is also close by both about 15 miles away. We stayed at the Comfort Inn Columbia Gorge Gateway. There are many other lodging choice nearby, Keeps one out of the Portland area and all the traffic to stay in either Troutdale or Gresham.
