Located about 10 miles south of Astoria lies Young River Falls, a 54 foot tall waterfall that flows into a pool beneath. The falls are a popular place for locals and visitors to cool off during the hot summer months, swimming and relaxing with family and friends. It’s been made even more popular as Young River Falls has been in many movies, most notably Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 3 and Free Willy 2.

Many tourists flock to it to recreate scenes from the movies, so there’s usually a large crowd. Visitors should note that there are no facilities nearby, but thankfully the town is only a few miles away and visitors can get refreshments or have meals there.
