Swaawa Falls
   Hood River County, Oregon, United States

Swaawa Falls is the fourth of five major waterfalls along Tanner Creek in the Columbia River Gorge. The falls occur at the upper end of the deep, narrow gorge that produces Wahclella Falls at its mouth. The falls are located about 500 feet upstream of Wahclella Falls and could potentially be considered an upper tier to Wahclella, but until further scouting can be done, it will remain listed as a separate entity.
