Legend says that many years ago a terrible sickness came over the village of the Multnomah people and many lost their lives. An old medicine man of the tribe told the Chief of the Multnomahs that a pure and innocent maiden must go to a high cliff above the Big River and throw herself on the rocks below and the sickness would leave at once. The Chief did not want to ask any maiden to make the sacrifice. But, when the Chief’s daughter saw the sickness on the face of her lover, she went to the high cliff and threw herself on the rocks below and the sickness went away. As a token of the maiden’s welcome by the Great Spirit, a stream of water, silvery white, streamed over the cliff and broke into a floating mist along its face. Even today, if you carefully watch, the maiden’s face can be seen in the upper waterfall as the breeze gently rustles the watery strands of her silken hair.

​

That is the story of the Falls that plunge from Multnomah. This is the story of a maiden, her lover, and the spirit that lives on between them for all time.
