Name of Waterfall
Upper Wahe Falls
Upper Wahe Falls
The second to last waterfall along Moffett Creek has for the longest time been referred to as Wahe Falls, per the USGS Tanner Butte quadrangle. However, in digging through old journals of the Portland-based Mazamas, according to their December 1916 publication it turns out that the name Wahe was originally applied to the final waterfall along Moffett Creek and the USGS has had the incorrect waterfall marked with this name for decades (a precedent which isn't uncommon in this part of Oregon it seems). Data available from the Oregon State Water Resources Department seems to back this up, referring to the fish-blocking lowermost waterfall as Wahe Falls. Given this mixup, we've opted to refer to this waterfall as Upper Wahe Falls.
