John B. Yeon State Scenic Corridor

The John B. Yeon State Scenic Corridor is a 88 -acre State Park on the Historic Columbia River Highway in the U.S. state of Oregon.

In the park a gently rising trail begins to two remote and less visited waterfalls of McCord Creek. The first waterfalls that are Elowah Falls, 1.5 km from the parking lot. The falls plunge over a basalt cliff and are 65 m high. The trail continues to the higher 19 m high McCord Creek Falls.

In addition, the park offers a good view of the Bonneville Dam.

The parking area was acquired 1935-1956 by purchases from the state of Oregon. 1935 established the Civilian Conservation Corps, a bridge over the McCord Creek and put on a footpath. It was named after John B. Yeon Park, a leading architect and construction manager for the construction of the Columbia River Highway. The use of the park is free of charge.
