This park was only 0.6 miles from my hotel, so I tried it out for an escape. As soon as you turn into the park, you are surrounded by tall green trees that block off all of the road noise from the city. Once you reach the parking lot, it is only a short walk to Whatcom Falls. I got... More

Having been thwarted in our attempts to see the tulips in Mt. Vernon by a spring blizzard, my friend and I, looking for alternatives, ended up at Whatcom Falls Park. It's a great place to visit for a lot of reasons: for out-of-towners, it's easy to find, the trails are pleasant and plentiful, and you can make it a quick... More

I walk this park everyday from spring to fall. There are so many trails and I often give directions to lost hikers. We blesed to have this park in the middle of our city. Dogs have to be on leash. There is also a beautiful waterfall, fabulous tennis courts ana ecent remodeled playground.

Whatcom Falls sounds like another dot com but is really named after the county in which it resides. If you have a few hours to kill and want to jog or walk some nature trails, this place is right in the heart of the city but you will never know it. Great for a little exercise, clear your mind, or... More

This is by far one of my favorite places to just get outside in the NW. Plenty of walking/running trails to be in the unspoiled forest.

I love Whatcom Falls. The park is in the middle of so many neighborhoods. You can follow trails leading you downtown, another leading you to restaurants, and another that leads you home. All while riding your bike or walking the dog. The next day when you go back take a new trail somewhere else. No reason to ever be bored!
