While on a little trip up near the border to visit some friends, we all met up here. It was a great decision! Beautiful trails, beautiful waterfalls, and a beautiful day meant it was a lovely afternoon walk. For a trail, it can be a little crowded, though.

Amazing place to hike and see the waterfalls. Lot of old growth trees. So beautiful to walk and hear the birds and the water flowing. There are benches around to sit down and take in the sights and sounds. Total loop of park is about 4 miles. Great for families and couples. Runners as well.

Enjoyed the spring runoff in the river while taking in the view of the falls. Parked at the Woburn Street entrance to the park and walked east to the falls. The trail is well groomed and very firm footing. Well marked and many folks had their dogs out for the day. Elevation change isn’t significant so it’s fairly easy to walk in most areas.

Really lovely park near Bellingham with easy hiking trails, numerous waterfalls, playgrounds, picnic areas, and even a trout hatchery to explore! It was a great place to stop and stretch our legs on our spring break road trip from Seattle up to Vancouver. The largest waterfall - Whatcom Falls (aka Whirlpool Falls according to Wiki) - is easily accessible via a well maintained, paved, and quite picturesque bridge that puts you right in front of it. An unpaved hiking trail continues on for a few miles past the bridge and was a tad muddy but well maintained. The falls are only about 10 feet tall but beautiful and quite powerful on our visit from all the snowmelt. Apparently it’s a very popular swimming hole in the warmer months. We visited in early March and there was still snow on the ground and pretty cold. There’s also a large trout hatchery in the park run by Bellingham Technical College. There are info signs and numerous pools fed by the river - very interesting to explore. I’d love to see it during hatching season! It’s free to enter. There’s lot of paved parking, clean bathrooms, picnic tables, and it’s very easy to find from the highway. Definitely worth a stop!
