Whatcom Falls

Whatcom Falls is located just outside of Bellingham in the park that bears its name. It is one of 5 falls in the park. The falls are viewed from a beautiful old arch bridge that spans Whatcom Creek. A side trail even leads to views from directly atop the falls if you are so inclined. It is also possible to make it down to the creek below the bridge when the water level is lower for some unique views.
