Event Description

Come Ride With Us... To White River Falls
One of Oregon's secret hideaways is located just east of Tygh Valley along Highway 216. The White River plunges 90' over a basalt shelf. The park offers excellent viewpoints of the White River falls. A rugged quarter-mile trail takes hikers down deep within the canyon to the historic hydroelectric power plant at the base of the raw, churning power of the falls. The power plant supplied electricity to Wasco and Sherman Counties from 1910 until the completion of The Dalles Dam in 1960. 

There is no fee to use this park.

Check this page 24 hours before the ride for any route or weather driven updates.

This ride will be at a spirited pace.  This ride is not intended for inexperienced riders or scooters less than 250cc.  It is absolutely necessary that everyone comes to the Overlook with a full tank of gas.  Generally have gas stops every 70 miles or so, but his route does not allow that many stops.  Make sure that your scooter can go at least 120 miles between fuel stops.
