Whatcom Falls Park

We took a trip up to Bellingham to walk around Whatcom Falls Park.  Nancy had come across some trails described in something she was reading so we figured walking somewhere new would be fun.  With a mild and sunny day, we lucked out.  The park was a lovely place to stroll which, despite plenty of other people being around, never felt crowded.

The start of the trails is very close to the falls themselves.  At this time of year, the water level is pretty low.  The falls still looked nice but it wasn’t hard to see the wear patterns in the rocks from where the water can flow when things are a lot more energetic.

Aside from the falls, there are nice water features throughout the park.  You walk through tree lined trails and then get an opening up on the lake.  It is a very pleasant spot on a sunny afternoon.
