PUNCHBOWL FALLS PARK
In April 2016 the County acquired the Punchbowl Falls property for inclusion into its park system and minor amenities were added in 2019. Overnight camping is prohibited and visitors are asked to observe general 'pack-in, pack-out' rules. Public restrooms are not available and pets are required to be leashed when outside a vehicle. There is no fee for visiting but be advised parking is limited and the area is open during daylight hours only.
OVERNIGHT CAMPING IS PROHIBITED AT ALL DAY USE FACILITIES (HRCC 12.08.215).
NOTICE: Oregon law (ORS 105.682, et seq.) provides the owner of land is not liable in contract or tort for injury, death or property damage that arises out of use of the land for recreational purposes (known as "recreational use immunity"). That immunity from liability does not apply if the owner makes a charge for permission to use the land. Fees charged for a particular use in this park, such as camping, do not apply to other uses of the park, or to your ability to enter other areas of the park. Therefore, Hood River County is not liable for injuries, death or property damage arising out of any use of this park for recreational purposes when no specific charge has been made for that use or for the right to enter that part of the property.
