Puff Falls is a 133-foot waterfall on Dry Creek in Skamania County, Washington, in the Cascades region. It lies about 16 miles northwest of Carson and roughly 37.2 miles northeast of Gresham as the crow flies.
At 133 feet it is taller than the typical Washington waterfall of about 82 feet, ranking 316th of 941 with a recorded height. By form it is a plunge, where the water drops vertically and loses contact with the rock face, combined with a punchbowl character.
The Cascades are a high volcanic range of snow-capped peaks, deep glacial valleys and dense conifer forest of Douglas fir, western hemlock and true firs, with abundant rain and snow on the western slopes. Basalt cliffs and lava flows give the region one of the highest concentrations of waterfalls in the country. Dry Creek carries 5 recorded waterfalls, and Puff Falls is the tallest of them.
