Oneonta Gorge is located in the Columbia River Gorge in Oregon. It was first photographed by Carleton Eugene Watkins, a native of Oneonta, New York, who had traveled west in 1851 during the time of the California Gold Rush. Watkins named the Oneonta Falls after his hometown. Due to damage from an enormous forest fire the gorge has been closed to hikers since 2017.
