Toketee Falls is a waterfall in Douglas County, Oregon, United States, on the North Umpqua River at its confluence with the Clearwater River.[1][2] It is located approximately 58 miles (93 km) east of Roseburg near Oregon Route 138.[3] Toketee (pronounced TOKE-uh-tee), is a Chinook Jargon word meaning "pretty" or "graceful".[2] The falls was officially named by a United States Board on Geographic Names decision in 1916, over alternate names Ireland Falls and Toketie Falls.[1]
