Easy walk throughout the park and the navigation was marked well. There are cool things to see like cliff diving spots and waterfalls. You can quickly get immersed in nature! Full review by radswifthippo

Q:
Hi. I'll be in Bellingham for part of a day & love the photos of Whatcom Falls, so I want to see it (them?) in person. When I look at pdf maps of the parks (is there more than one with falls?) and the trails from the Bellingham Trail Guide website, I can't tell where the falls are. Can you help? Where exactly should we park for the falls? Which trail should we take to reach the falls? Anything else I should know before going?
A:
The trails are marked so follow the one for the falls. You may have time to walk several trails. If I remember correctly, parking is mostly by the trails.

Q:
Is there a nice place in the park to sit and read a book?
A:
Yes, there are many places in the park to read a book. If you want to be near the falls, I would of course bring a folding chair or spread a blanket.

Q:
About how long does it take to get around the park if we were to stick to the main trail area and view the falls?
