Coopey Falls
Coopey Falls is a waterfall on Coopey Creek in the Columbia River Gorge, on the Historic Columbia River Highway in Multnomah County, Oregon.[1][2] The falls is a horsetail waterfall with a drop of 150 feet (46 m).
The falls was named after Charles Coopey, who once owned the land adjacent to the falls.[1] Simon Benson bought Wahkeena Falls from Coopey, an English tailor who had wanted to use the water from Wahkeena Falls to power a woolen mill for spinning and weaving, and for wool scouring.[3]
Coopey Falls is on private property behind a convent owned by the Franciscan Sisters of the Eucharist.[1] The sisters invite visitors to view the falls by following a path leading from the parking lot in front of the convent, after first asking permission.[1]
A view of the falls is also accessible from the Angels's Rest trailhead half mile west of the convent.[1] The falls are located one mile (1.6 km) east of Bridal Veil Falls.[1]
