History of Multnomah Falls Lodge
Lumber baron and philanthropist, Simon Benson donated the land that the falls sat upon, and funding for construction of the Benson Bridge. The bridge, constructed in 1914, allows visitors to cross over the lower falls and continue their paved trail journey to the viewing platform at the top.

The Atrium Room is especially perfect for views of vibrant fall foliage while you dine. Guests will enjoy the wall and ceiling full of large windows.
The lodge offers a forest-and-waterfall setting for a meal, with an atrium-style dining room and a historic stone fireplace. Window views are part of the appeal in fall, but foliage timing varies with the weather.
Located at the base of the tallest waterfall in Oregon, Multnomah Falls, guests will not be disappointed while thoroughly enjoying the scenic fall foliage through the tall windows at Trailside Grill.
