Oregon Lawmakers Plan to Buy Abiqua Falls: A Stunning Waterfalls Future Secured
Oregon lawmakers are moving forward with a plan to purchase Abiqua Falls, a breathtaking ninety-two-foot waterfall near Scotts Mills in Marion County. The state aims to acquire the popular hiking spot from Mount Angel Abbey, which has cared for the land for over a century. The abbey listed the property for sale in February, seeking new ownership that can better serve visitors.
The abbeys decision to sell was influenced by growing public interest in the area. Officials believe the falls beauty should be shared with more people for generations to come. Hikers, including students from Oregon State University, appreciate the trails challenges and rewards, hoping the falls remain accessible to all under new ownership.
Senate Bill fifty-seven zero one includes funding for the purchase, backed by bipartisan support from Democrats and Republicans in both the House and Senate. State leaders plan to explore the deal through their capital construction budget, with hikers also advocating for minor trail upgrades to enhance safety and access.
