Metlako Falls is
a waterfall on Eagle Creek in the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area in
Hood River County, Oregon, United States. It is the furthest downstream of the main
waterfalls on Eagle Creek. The lovely waterfalls drop out of narrow, calm pool,
and thunder into an inspiring gorge. The waterfalls were named in 1915, by a
committee of Mazamas, for Metlako, the Indian goddess of Salmon, likely because
of the fact that this waterfall marks the upstream limit to fish that spawn in
Eagle Creek.
