Elevation1411 ft above sea level

Natural Features and SceneryCatastrophic Ice Age floods carved deep ravines through ancient basalt here, creating the spectacular geology visible today. Columnar basalt formations rise in geometric perfection, evidence of ancient lava flows. A waterfall tumbles over these weathered columns into a tranquil pool that attracts wildlife. Groundwater seeping through porous rock nourishes the ravine's lush vegetation, a green ribbon that contrasts sharply with the stark scablands above. The ravine's sheltered microclimate supports riparian growth you won't find in the surrounding landscape.

Total Campsites20 campsites

Recommended SitesChoose campsites away from swampy areas for fewer bugs. Campsites near the waterfall (e.g., site 19) and higher ground offer better views and less mud.

Best CampsitesSite 10 offers a view of the lake but camping space is tight. Site 19 and others near the waterfall put you close to the cascade and pool. Expect small sites throughout. One camper noted that site 3, rated for 10 people and two vehicles, barely accommodated that number.
