Outlet Falls is a 69-foot plunge where Outlet Creek drops into a huge bowl in the Klickitat Canyon, east of Glenwood. It is in the Klickitat Canyon Natural Resources Conservation Area, managed by the Washington State Department of Natural Resources. The falls are just under 6 miles east of Glenwood on the Glenwood Highway, at an unmarked viewpoint 8/10 mile west of the marked Klickitat Canyon viewpoint. Watch for a pullout where a road circles a small group of trees; the falls are visible about 50 feet from the turnout. There is no signage, formal viewpoint or formal parking. The canyon rim has steep cliffs, and paths toward the canyon bottom are informal and dangerous.
