Lava Canyon Falls
Lava Canyon Falls drops 200 feet (61 meters) along the Muddy River in Skamania County, Washington.
Formation[]
Lava Canyon Falls was discovered after the 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens, from which a lahar and flood scoured out a canyon that had been filled with dirt and mud for 1,800 years. The Muddy River's course was redirected to that canyon as a result of the lahar and the floods, and it drops 1,400 feet (426 meters) in 2 miles (3.2 km). Lava Canyon Falls is the largest, 200 foot sheer drop.
