Went here just because and its so beautiful and peaceful here. We walked about 3 miles total and its about 1.5 miles from the bottom parking to the main top. We enjoyed all of the water and its falls, rapids and small pools. The stone bridge is about 80 years old and quite amazing. Cant wait to visit it again soon.

What an amazing park! A must stop if in town or pulling through! The pictures do not do it justice. Everyone from 6-45 years old enjoyed this trail. It is about 3 miles and took us 2 1/2 hours. I am disabled so I take longer to move than most. with that said, i was amazed at how well maintained the trails were and I was able to walk the park with my family. So much to teach the kids throughput the park. I just wish there was some info out on the trails (the kids like to read them).

One large serene beautiful park which is stroller friendly and the falls looks amazing with the stone bridge. The walking path is large enough for people to bike or use segway. There are many places in the park which has access to streams and safe. Great park for everyone.

So beautiful. If your wanting to get out of the house and get off the couch. Go get some fresh air at the falls. Hiking trails, swimming and nice clean fresh air. Huge parking area and clean bathroom facilities. Dogs are welcome.

Beautiful park! Dog friendly! Its very easy to walk the main trail. We saw people pushing strollers and young children on this trail. The falls are incredible!

Great place to take the family and friends! Just be careful with little one, there are a lot of place that a child not paying attention could and have fell. People go cliff jumping and swimming all over. Real fun, water is a bit cold.

Its easy walking around the park. It is either paved or gravel. Nice small waterfalls. Lots of ppl on bikes in certain parts. Signs are posted for the bicycle ideas. The parking is free!

Whatcom Falls is a great place to explore several different trails, or sit a few feet from a waterfall.There are public restrooms, making it easy to spend hours enjoying the outdoors.

This place is absolutely beautiful, you must go and check it out, nice views and wonderful trails

So beautiful! Very peaceful. Lots of trails and side trails

Not what I was expecting I thought it was going to be Fullsize waterfalls like Snoqualmie but they are small creek falls, pretty but not worth the 75 minute drive from Mill Creek

Wonderful place for a family getaway. Lots of small trails and not mention beautiful waterfalls to dip your toes in. Ample of parking and has lawn tennis court too. Public restrooms are available onsite.

Very nice park with lots of trails and beautiful waterfalls. The park is really big and you could probably spend a good day here. If anything, come just for the falls.

Beautiful park and falls. Surprising find in an urban setting. Parking can be a bit of a struggle as there are just two small lots that were very full on a weekend.

Still such a mellow vibe there. Many people coming out of the darkness of quarantine, everybodys courteous and socially distant. Every dog I saw there was getting along great.

Quiet and peaceful. Lots of ferns and a verdant forest floor! Even with the rain, it wasnt too bad beneath the canopy of the trees. I did find more trash than I had expected on the trails.

Nice place to casually hike around. Good place to sit in cold water. Playgrounds, salmon hatchery, feed ducks.

Beautiful trails. Small but adequate swimming areas. My 2 YO was able to jump of the falls well. Know where to jump, though, or you’ll end up in the rocks. Do not like the cigarettes and pot being smoked right where you jump off the falls, nor the cigarette smoking next to the bathrooms (reason why it lost a star).

The playground at Whatcom Falls is a great meeting place for local parents and children. We meet new friends all the time. They also have a really great dirt pump track and the riders tend to be courteous and polite, sharing the track with our 5 year old and encouraging him to ride. Three generations of my family have enjoyed the park here! Thanks Bham parks and rec for providing the best park :)

Quiet, relaxing, simply beautiful setting. A great place for a picnic, nestled amongst tall evergreens.

Amazing park area. The falls and plunge pools are just perfect for kids on hot summer days. It’s a shame playgrounds are closed here as they’re open in Seattle! Parks departments should be able to operate, its one of the only things we can do right now.

Absolutely gorgeous park. Proper trails for hiking, space for biking, falls are beautiful and theres even space for jumping into the water, which is clearly a common area despite being hidden amongst the trail. There isnt much parking, especially on a busy weekend, but youll enjoy it nonetheless.

A great way to spend the day wondering through this gorgeous park in the middle of Bellingham. So many cool waterfalls to see, awesome bridges with bike and hike trails all throughout the park.

Beautiful park with lots of things to do for everyone: 2 tennis courts, basketball court, kid playground, the creek is safe for swimming, multiple walking trails, picnic tables, etc. Note for photographers who want to shoot the waterfalls: avoid hot weekends, too many in the water.

One of the most lovely parks Ive been to! Very peaceful.

Its a great place to have fun. Saw some people jump into the water and enjoy themselves. Its a great place to walk/hike. It also feels cool inside the forest in the hot summer. The waterfall though not huge, is amazing to look at.

Great place for people of all ages. Plenty of room to move around and an awesome trail to walk, bike, frolic around. What a beautiful place to be.

This was a nice leisurely walk and listening to the waterfalls and rapids was a nice distraction from the noises of the city. There is a small bmx type bike area, it was enjoyable watching the young thrashers (is that what theyre called?), jump and flip their bikes.

Nice pond that probably gets lots of young fisherkids when the salmon are running.No one over 14 allowed to fish in this pond. Now I wish I was a kid to enjoy the fun someday. On my visit yesterday, the pond was pretty quiet. Just a few folks sitting around the pond enjoying their day.

Beautiful area!! Nice walking/riding tails

Very beautiful park. My see waterfall for visitors, great spot for walking amazing trails and creeks and trees

Beautiful place. After you fight for a parking place its a beautiful park. Nothing like it.

Great City Park. Awesome trails, multiple access points, big rocks, great swimming holes and rapids.

Beautiful park. Unfortunately lots of trash can be found on the ground. Waterfalls are beautiful and you can swim in one of them. Rocks are slippery. Watch children closely.

Great family friendly trails. And awesome off leash dog area!!!! There is a falls you can jump off of into a swimming pool

Loved it!!! Must see!!! Beautiful little bridge with full, well maintained foliage, trees and bushes. Lots of dog walkers.

Beautiful park. Great hiking, there is a little kids playground and a bigger kids playground as well a bmx track.

Such a lovely park. The trails are manageable in sandals. Lots of place to swim and signs help you not get lost. Well definitely come back!

Great and lovely escape. Long walking trails, watering holes, courts for ball, grassy areas and playgrounds for kids.

It is a beautiful place, very quiet ... You breathe peace and tranquility. I loved.

Great open park with waterfalls. Plenty of space to walk around, have a picnic, throw frisbees whatever you want to do. Would like to go back and explore more.

Great park, gorgeous scenery but be careful with very young children--some potentially dangerous terrain.

Great place. Never gets old. Great for kids. You can swim too.

This is an amazing walking spot if you wanna take some time in nature. There are also areas with water where you can swim, which is great for kids and adults alike! Only issue is that there is the rare issue that someone is smoking weed, which leaves an awful smell. But that happened only once or twice in all the times ive been here. Its a great place to swim or relax overall though!

I proposed to my partner there! The falls are lovely and have the quintessential PNW vibes going on. That and you get to meet a lot of doggies walking along the path (if like me, dont have your own!).

Well kept. Gorgeous views. Pretty busy but still able to find your own space. Lots to do/see. My sons enjoyed seeing the fish. Saw salmon berries and beautiful honeysuckle. Definitely want to come back in the fall.

Soooo gorgeous!!! Definitely recommend this stop. Peaceful, quiet, and calming. There are a few people on the trails but not over ran with pedestrians. Youll likely encounter a few doggies along the way too.Back within houses and seems out of place but a hidden gem for sure.There are a couple slippery slopes. Wouldnt recommend some trails to handicap or anyone with a minor disability. The beginning is easy for someone handicap or wheelchair bound.

A lovely stroll, through a majestic park, with a variety of beautiful scenes. :)

So many water falls and ponds. Great access points to water. Easy walking. For a cardio workout running or walking as. There arent many inclines. Great for a person who is wanting to start an easy walking routine. The environment of water trees, and plants is the perfect brain break. Not many people wearing masks or staying 6 from our group. Thus the one star review. Not ok to walk/ride close to me when Im trying to protect you. This is about humanitarianism not political views/rights. Please mask up Wa. Read information thats true. Do your own research. Use more than one source. Verify information .

This is a beautiful park with a great trail for walking or biking. Waterfalls and duck ponds along the way. The hatchery is also located here.

Beautiful area, a nice little walk to the falls.

From Palm Coast FL, were visiting family in Ferndale. Our daughter-in-law took us to Whatcom Falls Park for a visit and a hike. The trails are beautiful and manageable by anyone of moderate ability to walk around. There are easy trails everywhere you go and the scenery is terrific no matter which you choose. Derby Pond has a bunch of ducks who swim to shore looking for bread or popcorn handouts (unsalted please). The whole park is a photographers delight especially the falls and bridge but lots of flowers, birds and even the old railroad trestle are good subjects. You should go.

Lovely hiking area bridge n several water falls , although weekends crowded go early am or early evening.

Great area with a public park and a small bike area. It has lots of trails with plenty of views on the pond and river.

Great view but very crowded at the waterfall. Would love to go back and do all the trails because they were less crowded.

Expansive park consisting of hundreds of acrers where you can forget youre even in a city. Also contains plenty of spots for swimming along the creek which are surprisingly warm.

Wonderful park with much to do for kids and adults. Great for walking.

Lots of things to do, great scenery, free to park and enter

Short walk from parking lot to River and small falls with plenty of bathrooms.... Grocery store and gas station across the street conveniently.....

Clean and the people there are nice. We like to go to jump in the waterfall and the water is so fresh!

A great place was a calm and peaceful evening/morning with the falls and the greenery around!

Great place to walk/hike, a bit crowded, on the weekend we went not sure if its always like that. Dudes were smoking pot on the trail, so we left earlier then we intended. But the trail was beautiful.

One of the most amazing city parks Ive been to

One of my favorite Pacific Northwest places to be..

Easy trail. Very beautiful and green.

Loved this place. It was our first visit but it was pretty packed so we left early.Definitely will plan to go there again.

Beautiful place of nature. Very easy to access. Such quiet & serenity. Nice place to hinge, or just come to sit for a bit.

Beautiful views. Was crowded though every one wearing masks

What a beautiful wooded park in the middle of the City.

Beautiful park with great trails. Nice place to spend a few hours with friends and family or even for yourself to get away from the city without actually having to leave the city.

A beautiful park with surprising views.Several trails that lead to different sizes of waterfalls. We were there on Veterans Day, and though there were quite a few cars in the parking lot, the falls werent busy at all. A beautiful mossy bridge over gorgeous falls.My boyfriend actually proposed at the top of the main falls. Couldnt have chosen a better spot!!

Great place to spend a sunny day. Just dont tell any out-of-towners.

This is a nice City Park with quiet paths and plenty of scenery.

This park was amazing! We are out of town visiting from Lake Stevens, WA, and looked for a place we could take our dogs for some exercise that wasnt a rigorous hike. So many trails and side trails to explore, the pups had a blast sniffing everything and splashing in the water. The trails are well marked and you could essentially spend as long as you like exploring once you get there.The falls themselves are a short walk from the parking lot, so you could just see them and leave if you wanted to. While there, we saw many different groups of varying ability. Older people, young families with toddlers or strollers, and lots of dogs!I definitely recommend this park!

This park is a nice loop of trails that takes you into a series of rivers and waterfalls. The atmosphere is serene, and the sights are aesthetic to the eye. The falls are scattered throughout the park, and you can find some cool rock formations which can be fun to climb around.

Nice hiking trails. Salmon habitat is cool. I like that this area has a connection to this day with the New Deal. Neat works of architecture from pre WWII.

Nice place to walk with a few family friendly paths. There is a bike track and a kids fishing area too.

Was visiting Bellingham for the first time since I moved to Seattle 2 years ago. One of the best places i have been. Whatcom Falls totally added to our stay with wonderful views and trails to hike. Lots of awesome nature and the falls were amazing. I would definitely be back because there is alot more to hike that we did not get to. Theres bridges and rushing water and lots of life. Thanks mother nature!

Fun place. Bring appropriate shoes--hiking boots or trail shoes.

Whatcom Falls park is a wonderful place to walk your dog, go jogging, biking, working out, running or even get pictures done. There are multiple different trails to explore!! We had our wedding photos taken by the breath taking water falls. This place is beautiful, peaceful and a breath of fresh air !

A very nicely preserved park for an afternoon stroll. This Park land appears to be a series of public works and utilities projects that has been seamlessly adapted into a park. A very nice display of using space for government projects while preserving the beauty. Don’t miss the fish hatchery

BEAUTIFUL!! The trees, the falls, everything was wonderful.

My favorite park. Beautiful year round, very crowded in summertime with people swimming and hiking, but its still my favorite time to go. There are enough evergreen trees that the forest still looks green in the cold months. Plenty of waterfalls, not just the big main waterfall. I live an hour away from here, but still make the drive at least once a month to visit this incredible location.

Really nice and clean. Lots of trails and little playsets for the kids. Even has a tiny one for toddlers! Has several covered areas for parties or picnics. Has a tennis court and nice, clean bathrooms. We didnt get to explore everything but our kids and dogs loved it!

The rain mostly held off while wet were here... and the recent rain made the falls and flow amazing! What a beautiful park!

Serene walking trails for suitable for all family members. My 80 year old mother and 4 year old niece both enjoyed the hike at their own pace.

This place is amazing. The trails are very well kept, easy to follow and full of things to see. If you go to the Bellingham area and would like a little getaway, you must visit here. The different falls and waterways are simply breathtaking. Really a cool place if you love to take photos.

Beautiful and peaceful for all. Natural serenity. For those of you that have not had the pleasure of visiting this place. It has a park with a covered area as well for gatherings. The waterfall, a hiking trail, and a hatchery. Usually with salmon.

Nice place to walk around for a bit. Gave us a break from driving! Beautiful scenery.

Beautiful park, lots of trails, masked up folks, turning leaves.

Quiet lots of trail going different direction. Swimming spots all over the park. Fishing pond for kids. Lots of sun and shade.

Great place. Falls is really great and great trails.

My favorite place in whatcom county!! If only people would stop leaving bags of dog S%#! On the side of the trail and just fling it into the bushes with a stick!!!

Really nice family park. Trails, rocks, play equipment, swimming (Brrrrr!), waterfalls, picnic shelters.

It’s a beautiful and easy walk wit kids and you can swim here. First time here and I loved it.

Beautiful, love walking the trails and exploring. Always find something new!

If you dont like this park, then you have no soul. Go back inside where the sun will not hurt you. With gorgeous trees and a meandering trail that connects to different points across the city, I have wasted hours here. There are main trails, and smaller side trails for the more adventurous. The falls are amazing, and change with the season. You also wont run into too many cyclists with super duper LED strobe lights blinding everyone when the sun sets at 4:30 in wintertime. Seriously, those guys can stay inside with the soulless i mentioned earlier.

Beautiful park! Well maintained trails. Interesting Trout hatchery.

Worth an hour drive each way for me. Well maintained trails and a great place to bring your dog. There is a huge off leash area but trails have to keep them on a leash.

WFP is a great - natural forest with forested creek and even wetlands, but on the edge of town. Awesome to have a place like this without a long drive.
