Whatcom Falls Park

Its stone bridge and forested creek corridor make it an appealing place for a walk and a close look at moving water within the city.

Choose your route using the city’s park information, allowing time to explore beyond the best-known bridge viewpoint. Paths and creekside surfaces can be wet, and water conditions vary with weather. Follow posted access guidance and enjoy the falls from established paths; the park’s wider trail network offers a more varied outing than a single photo stop.
