A nice and scenic waterfalls area just off milepost 40 on Mt.Baker highway. About 2 minutes off the highway (by car) on a dirt and gravel yet well maintained U.S. Forest road.Surrounded by evergreens and just near Mt. Baker itself.Be careful around the boulders and rocks as many people have DIED trying to get a better view going outside of... More

This could be a really neat little park but is more of a viewpoint stop due to sub par facilities for anyone wanting to makemore than a short stop. More

The water fall is particularily awe enspiring in the Spring when the glacieral melt increases the flow. Huge drop, very powerfull at close range. More

Nooksack Falls is certainly not the largest waterfall in the Pacific northwest, but it is striking nonetheless. There is a short trail from the parking area to the viewpoint from which the falls are truly beautiful, especially when water levels are high. The path, across the road from the parking area, is not well marked and unfriendly to those with... More

Besides the fence, it's a great picture spot. I just had to crop out the fence. There is a small, yet slippery hike and a couple of rock perches, perfect for picture taking. More

Short walk to the fenced area for viewing the glacial blue green frosted water of the Nook sack River thundering over the precipice into the valley below - good stop on the way up to Mt Baker More

It was nice to stop and stretch out our legs on the way to Baker. The falls are easily accessed on the main highway via partially paved road. There is limited parking available but it seems like it's never a problem. The only negative is that the chain link fence is in the way so hard to take pictures. Worth... More

Great experience close to Belligham. The drive was spectacular and scenery exceptional. My son works and lives in Bellingham and this is one of his favorite spots to visit. More
