Youngs River Falls is a 54feet tall[2] waterfall on the Youngs River in central Clatsop County, northwestern Oregon, United States.[1] They are located about 10miles south of Astoria.
The first Americans to report on the falls were members of a hunting party from the Lewis and Clark Expedition, in March 1806.[2]
The falls have appeared in movies such as , Benji the Hunted and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III.[2]
In July 2014, Tod Gary Wagoner, of Williamsburg, Colorado, died after jumping from the falls, the "first [such] fatality at the falls in a while."[3] In April 2016, Joseph T. Nestor, a 34-year-old Astoria man, fell and died from injuries at the falls.[4]
