A secluded pool at the confluence of the East and West forks of the Hood River near the town of Dee — not to be confused with the Punch Bowl Falls on the Eagle Creek Trail in the Columbia Gorge, where jumping is illegal and has caused multiple fatalities.

Warnings
Landing rocks shift season to season - swim the zone first. Upper-cliff clearance depends on water level. This is the Dee location off Highway 281, not the Eagle Creek Punch Bowl where jumping is banned.
Access
Short, steep unofficial trail off Punchbowl Road near Dee; a rope aids the final descent in places.
Best conditions
Summer once forks have dropped from spring melt.
