Nooksack Falls, Natural waterfall in Mount Baker National Forest, Washington, United States.
The North Fork Nooksack River plunges 88 feet through a narrow canyon, creating a powerful water display among forested cliffs.
The falls area became central to mining operations in the late 1800s, with the Lone Jack Claim of 1897 yielding $500,000 in gold.
The waterfall gained national recognition when it was featured in a hunting sequence of the 1978 film The Deer Hunter.
Visitors can reach the falls viewing area via Wells Creek Road #33, located 7 miles east of Maple Falls on Highway 542.
The waterfall maintains a consistent flow of 500 cubic feet per second and features a single vertical drop at a 90-degree angle.
