One thing us Oregonians are adamant about is recycling and not trashing nature. You hit it spot on with your message.

[@JesseStLouis]

🙏

[@oregonxyz]

and don't air pollute with cig smoke either and leave butts and if you have an aggressive dog, leave it don't bring it

[@alpinglow]

Thank you for mentioning "leave no trace!" Leave that city stuff in the city and keep the woods wild!

[@JesseStLouis]

that's right

[@PredMatic]

I dig your message and your passion. I hope your channel blows up and more people enjoy your passion.

[@JesseStLouis]

Thanks Joe

[@fallinginthed33p]

I'm at a loss for words. These spots are among the most beautiful places I've ever seen and best of all, no crowds! Nice to swim in too. Take care of these precious treasures so everyone can enjoy them.

[@JesseStLouis]

🙌

[@araceliorozco8919]

Yes, thank you. Some people don't know the value of nature and don't take care of it. That's why I don't post my locations no more and I'm careful to whom I tell the locations.

[@stephaniesmith7317]

I am in awe of the beauty to be found in Oregon.You've done a wonderful job finding and highlighting all these waterfalls and swimming holes. The state travel board should have you on their payroll. I watched the info video of your daily cost breakdown of this trip. Totally something I and the hubby could do. We've set sights on an Oregon adventure. Plus I've already tucked an envelope in my sock drawer titled O-re-gone and stashed the 1st $20 towards that goal. Great job motivating a viewer to "get out there and find your adventure!" *Now figure out where I can cut back on spending and stuff that envelope!

[@JesseStLouis]

Thanks so much Stephanie!!!!

[@jermhanson13]

Finding hidden swimming holes would be my dream job. Love your channel and hope it takes of so you can live the dream 🤘

[@JesseStLouis]

Thanks man!! I'm working hard to make it happen 🤙

[@Marguerite21]

I too hate graffiti on boulders near the waterfalls! People who do that certainly have no respect for the beauty of Mother Nature. By the way, I love your video about Oregon's Waterfalls and swimming pools. Makes me want to go there on vacation.

[@JesseStLouis]

Thanks!!

[@weksaa]

Moving to oregon next week specifically for all the hiking and adventures! Your videos are making me even more excited ahh can’t wait!!

[@petegann8987]

Why cause it’s the truth?Ever since the rise in Californians moving to Oregon places like this have become dump sites.

I def plan on venturing into Oregon more this spring and summer!!!

[@Tawnieandwayne]

Oh my god I was just at blue hole falls. I was thinking oh man I hope he doesn't show that one! hahahaha. Great video!

[@MattCookOregon]

Isn't that waterfall at the end called evergreen falls?

[@JesseStLouis]

Not sure

[@tobbsthweedman]

[@patrickmckeegan5345]

Glad to see my favorite from the late 60's was not listed! Another was Fall Creek, but that in now under the reservoir water. Surprised the Triangle Lake natural slide was not mentioned.

[@morg52]

When I lived in Cottage Grove, one of my favorites was "Wild Wood falls"

[@monetroshi]

I thought the commentary would be annoying but I actually really enjoyed this. I’ll be visiting in July and I want to get in an the water.

[@JesseStLouis]

If it makes you feel any better, most people ARE annoyed by my commentary 🤣🤙

[@gwengwen4535]

I love this video so much!! How FUN and GORGEOUS☺️🥰

[@JesseStLouis]

[@alexspink5244]

The Illinois river is a gem too, super warm, deep water

[@hondakid9170]

Thanks for sharing these secrets!

[@JesseStLouis]

Make good use. LNT

[@sidneyogris7931]

I wish you would state how like the hike is from where you park untill you hit water lol. Its a big factor when i pick a spot specially if i have kids in the group. Just a thought

[@ethanno7396]

You should check out high rock cascadia Oregon! Great cliff jumping spot on middle santiam river.

[@JesseStLouis]

Thanks for the info 🤙

[@cartervareiso613]

A little more underwater footage would've been nice...love your adventures...

[@JesseStLouis]

[@gavinhowitt2008]

I know a good spot in kingfield Maine the water is cold it comes straight from sugarloaf mountain

[@JesseStLouis]

Sounds awesome

[@benmcreynolds8581]

Brice creek area is nice, Sharp's creek is right near by with a great swimming hole, looks like a astroid crater. I'd love to see a diver go to the bottom. I've gold hunted there and found some good flakes. Plus there is further up bohemia mountain mine sites. I also love going to quartzville, there is such hidden back roads to all sorts of beautiful area's that hardly anyone goes to. Quartzville is near the santiam.

[@JesseStLouis]

Oh yeah I've heard of Quartzville

[@patrickmckeegan5345]

My sisters Bohemia mine and adjacent claims are for sale. Proven hard rock mine. Bring your check book.

[@saltywaltPDX]

I love my state ❤️

[@deanfirnatine7814]

One you just missed is South Umpqua River falls, a BIG natural slide. FYI the Narrows is not on the Umpqua River but the North Umpqua, keep working on that pronunciation Umpqua, you will get it, ummqua, the mis slightly dragged out and p basically silent.

[@JesseStLouis]

Cool!! Thanks for the tip. I love natural slides.

[@parkboi3800]

Hey what part of the narrows is this please its seems to be a long strip of current Thanks!!

[@badmuddafukaz]

Thanks for the video would definitely like to go there I’m in Eugene however can’t find it on Google maps can you help please

[@joegrover11]

I grew up in Tujunga - sad how that place got messed up. Now im in Oregon and I'd say no disclaimer needed you mess around up here youll go missin.

[@JesseStLouis]

Yes Tujunga still has some hard to reach hidden gems though that are pristine 🙌

[@jigsaw9749]

Leave your starbucks cup and Takis pack in your car. Dump them later at a gas station trashcan. Thankyou so much for this video. It is really hidden tho because I cant even find them of Gmaps

[@JesseStLouis]

🙌🤙

[@allilewis7815]

Thanks for the video! Just bought plane tickets to visit Oregon in August. Think it’ll still be warm enough to swim?

[@JesseStLouis]

Oh yeah, probably the best time to go

[@blaineedwards8078]

Dude, I just subbed. When are you gonna check out the infamous Arctic snow snakes of Alaska?

[@JesseStLouis]

Sounds interesting. I've never heard of them before but now I'll have to search them out one of these days.

[@rocketsguide4863]

I care very deeply about river and creek and I have always wonder if I will arrested for trying to clean the spray paint from the rocks? I was told that I shouldn’t try to clean it myself. Does anybody here know if there’s any procedures that I should take? Thank you

[@JesseStLouis]

I know people try different things like pressure washing, sandblasting and even just painting over it in a rock color. Not sure what the best option is.

[@BroNapha]

Nice

[@JesseStLouis]

[@dustinmoore3572]

Your camera caught your fart underwater... hahahahaaaaa.

[@chaunchiemuffin]

Not much of a secret now :/ some native Oregonians would like to have somewhere to go when everywhere else is packed

[@matts3153]

Woooah. I need to find Triple Falls. Any additional location info?

[@JesseStLouis]

I think u should be able to using Google maps

[@xivxperez14x4]

Amen pick up after yourself I agree.

Couldn't find triple falls other than the one near i84...

If you're ever in the Eugene/Springfield area and want more amazing hidden swimming holes, I can point you in the direction of some pretty great spots.

Thank you! And please use no soap in the running water.

[@JesseStLouis]

Never, please also never wear bug spray or sunscreen in the water and never wash your dishes there. These creeks have delicate ecosystems and they need to be taken care of.

August

Note for City Slickers. NO pooping on the trail.

What are those suds on the river in the beginning.. looks like soap or cleaner

[@JesseStLouis]

Probably just biofilm from organic matter getting aerated

My nephew just moved up here and he lives in Vancouver and I live in Hillsboro .. any spot you recommend that's not over crowded and with a HR drive ...three pools is like three hrs😢😢 he has a 5 yr old and a three year old and I have my 12 yr old son and 18 yr old daughter

[@tallman4040]

Really cool places, but you make the rookie mistake of overdubbing crappy music. I wanted to hear the water falls and nature and instead I get annoying music.

[@JesseStLouis]

You made the rookie mistake of commenting about something that I cannot change since the video is already up, but I have tried to use more natural sounds in my videos. Thanks for watching.

[@tallman4040]

@@JesseStLouis hey man, sorry if my comment appeared harsh, but I am getting so annoyed at seeing such great video ruined by overdubbed music. It's all too common. Just take it from an Oregon outdoors person, leave the natural sounds there. The music sucks, it's distracting, it's intrusive, and it detracts from the video. Keep making videos. You captured some very rarely traveled places.

[@flat_life750]

Yeah brother I hear you on that pristine conditions of nature, went to Nobe young creek falls and had to pack out a few beer bottles from there.Some people are stupid and don’t deserve to be out there. SMFH

Good job my man

[@Gorg0nops]

Picart versus nature

[@JesseStLouis]

🤣👍

[@jbellmanosu]

I love your rant on taking care of nature, which I agree. How about you do your part and not post videos about all the hidden spots leaving them available to be exploited! Keep this shit off the internet... just saying... your looking for views, you're also responsible for bringing traction to these spots that will eventually be ruined.

[@JesseStLouis]

The public has a right to use public land. It's not just for the cool kids. I'm trying to inspire and educate people, not just looking for views. The best way to teach people about nature is to get them out in it, show them the beauty and why we need to protect it. Being secretive and selfish doesn't help anything.
