Toketee Falls is a waterfall in Douglas County, Oregon, United States, on the North Umpqua River at its confluence with the Clearwater River. It is located approximately east of Roseburg near Oregon Route 138. ''Toketee'' (pronounced TOKE-uh-tee), is a Chinook Jargon word meaning "pretty" or "graceful".〔 The falls was officially named by a United States Board on Geographic Names decision in 1916, over alternate names Ireland Falls and Toketie Falls.〔 ==Description== Carved from ancient columnar basalt, Toketee Falls drops approximately in two stages. With a reliable water flow on the North Umpqua River, the falls avoids the seasonal fluctuations of other creek-fed waterfalls in Oregon.
