Wallace Falls State Park

Wallace Falls State Park spans 1,380 acres along the Wallace River, featuring three waterfalls cascading through dense forests of the Cascade Mountains.

The park land was acquired from Weyerhaeuser Timber Company in 1971, marking the beginning of its designation as a protected natural area.

The name derives from Joe and Sarah Kwayaylsh of the Skykomish tribe, who established the first homestead in this mountainous region.

The park maintains 12 miles of hiking trails and 5 miles of biking paths, with facilities including campgrounds, cabins, and picnic areas.

The central waterfall drops 367 feet in three sections, with its largest cascade falling 265 feet and visible from the Skykomish Valley.
