Columbia River Gorge
Multnomah Falls is probably the highlight of Columbia River Gorge, but there are many trailheads for other hikes within several miles. For Multnomah, I started in the less crowded Wahkeena Falls parking lot and finished the loop at the famous waterfall (5 miles, 1600ft "Loop #2").
Silver Falls State Park
The Trail of Ten Falls is the longest hike in Silver Falls State Park with South Falls probably being the highlight. The trail can be split up into sections, although the full loop is fairly easy for an eight mile hike with minimal elevation change. I had good luck with it the month of March.
Abiqua Falls
There is a short hike to Abiqua Falls, which was surprisingly crowded on a rainy Wednesday afternoon in March. The dirt road to the trailhead took a couple attempts in one spot coming back, but a normal car can handle it.
Smith Rock State Park
There are some places to sit and watch climbers on Monkey Face on the Misery Ridge loop. The loop can be finished with the shorter and easier river walk or a longer hike along the Summit Trail.
