Whatcom Falls

Whatcom Falls, one of the greatest attractions in Bellingham, is the centerpiece of its own park. Whatcom Falls Park is a 241-acre (0.98 km2) park in Bellingham, Washington. The falls are located on Whatcom Creek, which connects Lake Whatcom to Bellingham Bay. The park contains four waterfalls and numerous kilometers of well-kept walking pathways. Visitors to Whatcom Falls Park are greeted by a Civilian Conservation Corps-era bridge. The bridge also serves as a fantastic viewing platform for the falls. Whatcom Falls Park has about three miles of paths that lead to other gorgeous water attractions along Whatcom Creek.

Picnic areas, interpretive displays, and a playground are all available at the park. The park also has a fish hatchery and educational resources about the local environment. A popular swimming hole is located further into the park, where large groups assemble during the summer.
