Hole-in-the-Wall Falls
Hole-in-the-Wall Falls, also known as Warren Falls, is a 96-foot man-made waterfall on Warren Creek in Starvation Creek State Park, Hood River County, Oregon, United States.[1] Its main drop is 60 feet. It was created in 1938 when Warren Creek was diverted through a tunnel (hence its name) to prevent washouts of the Columbia River Highway.[2] The creation of the falls shut off a natural cascade known as Warren Creek Falls named after the creek that formed it.
