Panther Creek Falls, Tiered waterfall in Skamania County, United States.
Panther Creek Falls drops 130 feet (40 m) in two tiers on Panther Creek in the Wind River Valley, Skamania County, Washington.

The rock wall between the falls is covered in green moss and small ferns, with bare dark rock showing in patches.
Panther Creek Falls lies on Panther Creek in the Wind River Valley of Skamania County, Washington. The Forest Service maintains the trail to the falls and built a viewing deck at the Y in the trail, to the right, where the 102-foot horsetail drop is visible; the left branch continues down to the final 30-foot drop. The creek is perennial, so the falls run year-round.
The falls are a roadside stop in Gifford Pinchot National Forest, reached by a Forest Service trail with a viewing deck at the fork. The deck faces the 102-foot horsetail drop; the left branch continues to the final 30-foot fall. Panther Creek keeps flowing year-round, so the split of water at the bend changes with the season.
A Forest Service trail leads to the falls; at a Y junction, a viewing deck on the right faces the 102-foot horsetail drop, while the left branch descends to the final 30-foot drop. The ground is often muddy or slippery, so wear boots with grip.
At the bend where Panther Creek turns, some water spills over the side early while most continues to a natural trough before the 102-foot horsetail drop. The Forest Service built a viewing deck at the Y in the trail, on the right, facing the main fall; the left branch descends to the final 30-foot drop.
