  This park is a nice place to get away from it all in the city. The park is lovely all year - the lushness of spring and summer, the bright autumn colors, and even winter's cold is enjoyable on a nice day. There is a playground, a fish hatchery, picnic areas, and plenty of trails to explore. There is a good sized parking area and public restrooms are available. It's a great place for photographs, too.

  Stepping into the forested park offers a departure from life's bustle. Trails winding through the park follow Whatcom Creek and have viewpoints of the Falls. It's a favored refuge for locals year round.

  The falls at Whatcom falls are very tranquil and the trails are great. I have been able to see owls on my walk through the park. Just a beautiful area.

  This is a charming little park. It's easy to get to. Whatcom Falls isn't Niagara, but it's picturesque and, well, charming. There are lots of trails to walk on, a fish hatchery open for a walkthrough, some evidence of the area's history, a duck pond, a playground, and places to sit down and have a picnic. Perfect for about a half-day visit. i live in Bellingham, and I still visit the park often just to walk around and enjoy the peace and quiet.

  Rain or shine, this is a great park. One side abuts streets, one a large cemetery. Yet one feels far away from civilization under the tall old trees. Whatcom Creek and Falls provide the soothing background sound of water. Other reviewers have touched on everything this park has to offer, I go there as often as possible. It is always re-invigorating.

  Beautiful park with well maintained trails. Dogs & kids love it. The falls and fish hatchery are an added plus!

  What a pretty park with gorgeous scenery! The trails are manageable for walkers, runners, bikers, and strollers. You have multiple trail options to choose from; I very much enjoyed the trail to Scudder's pond. I saw several different bird species and the pond was alive with song. The falls are pretty and there is something enticing about the power of water. You will see families, couples, many dogs, runners, and bikers in this park. If you have time, stop at the fish hatchery, it's pretty neat to see the different kinds and sizes of fish swimming in the tanks.

  Whatcom Falls park is full of beauty. Fun to feel the cool water in the summer. A nice hike with many trails that lead between the city and the outlying areas. You can walk, run, bike, or play basketball and tennis. Easy to access with many parking areas or hike in from your residence. An outdoor mecca so to speak. Experience all 4 seasons from getting your sweat on to enjoying the frozen tundra. Lots to do outdoorsy and a place for awe inspiring pictures.

  Whatcom Falls Park is fantastic not necessarily because it is grander or more jaw dropping a vista than others, but simply because you don't expect it to be there. Off Lakeway Drive, there's this little park (comparatively) with these decent sized falls, a twisting river and a beautiful stone bridge! The play area and cooking areas are more or less what you'd expect, with a nice rentable covered area as well.

  Whatcom Falls Park is part of an interurban park system operated by the Bellingham Parks Department and has two entrances off Lakeway Ave. The first entrance takes you to the lower park and is visited most often because of the impressive stone bridge built by the WPA in the 1930s. Ithe bridge is only 50 yards from the lower parking lot down an inclined paved path. There are grassy areas and picnic tables and shelters right next to the parking lot. Trout are raised in the fish hatchery and released into the the pond just a short walk from the lower park. The stream running through is active during salmon spawning season. The upper park entrance is a little farther west an is family friendly with playground equipment picnic tables. Pick up your supplies at Fred Meyer located at the I-5 Lakeway exit and then head west on Lakeway to this park for a refreshing hike and picnic.
