Drift Creek Falls in Lincoln County is viewed from a suspension bridge over a canyon, and Youngs River Falls in Clatsop County spills into a pool in a forested setting near Astoria. Tillamook State Forest holds falls such as Fern Rock Falls, and Coos County has its own cluster in the southern Coast Range.
