Cline Falls State Scenic Viewpoint

Its picnic setting offers a way to pause in the central Oregon landscape without treating the surrounding river corridor as a developed resort.

Check Oregon State Parks’ current access and visitor guidance before arrival. The photograph shows a picnic area during an earlier visit rather than a designated swimming facility. River levels, currents and footing can change, so choose activities cautiously and use authorized approaches. Follow posted rules and do not assume that a park name guarantees direct access to every nearby waterfall or river feature.
