Whatcom Falls Park, Cascading waterfall system in Bellingham, United States.
Four distinct waterfalls flow along Whatcom Creek through a 241-acre forested park connecting Lake Whatcom to Bellingham Bay.
The Olympic pipeline rupture in June 1999 released 237,000 gallons of gasoline into Whatcom Creek, causing an explosion that affected the park.
The park features a trout hatchery managed by Bellingham Technical College in collaboration with the Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife.
The park offers two entrances: one on Electric Avenue for sports fields access and another on Silver Beach Road for picnic areas.
Whirlpool Falls contains a natural punchbowl pool with 30-foot cliffs where visitors engage in water activities during summer months.
