Notes

Wallace Falls State Park is a hidden gem in western Washington, boasting some of the most breathtaking scenery. This 1,380-acre camping paradise offers shoreline views on the Wallace River, as well as the stunning Wallace, Jay, and Shaw lakes. Nestled in the west side of the majestic Cascades Mountains, the park is home to a breathtaking array of waterfalls. Keep an eye out for Middle Wallace Falls, which cascades down from a height of an impressive 265 feet. The park is also a nature lover’s paradise, featuring lush coniferous forests, secluded backcountry lakes, and swift-moving rivers and streams. And if you’re a wildlife enthusiast, you’ll be delighted to spot peregrine falcons soaring gracefully on the rocky cliffs of the Index Town Wall. Whether you’re a hiker, mountain biker, wildlife enthusiast, or rock climber, Wallace Falls State Park has something special to offer.
