Description
Coopey Falls is a 150' horseshoe type falls in the Columbia River Gorge on Coopey Creek.
Most people who see Coopey Falls see a very limited view of it on the way up the Angel's Rest Hike. The viewpoint is at the first obvious stopping point along the way. There is a spur trail down to the left just past this open area that takes you down to the top of the falls. While this doesn't improve your view of Coopey Falls, it gives you a nice vantage point of Coopey Creek and upstream toward Upper Coopey Falls.
The falls are on the property of a Catholic convent. Hikers will spot the farmyard of this convent at the bottom of the talus slopes that traverse in the early sections of the hike. Given the proper forewarning and permission, you can arrange a better view of the falls from the property itself.
