Small, scenic falls on the Deschutes River with basalt formations and river pools — great for intimate waterscape and landscape shots. Best visited at sunrise or late afternoon for soft side lighting; spring runoff produces the most dramatic flow, while summer yields calmer reflections. Access requires a short hike from a nearby trailhead with limited parking and no major facilities; wear sturdy shoes. Respect local tribal history (named for Chief Billy Chinook) and Leave No Trace.
