Depot Creek Falls

Depot Creek Falls is a 967 ft-high waterfall in the North Cascades National Park, Whatcom County, Washington.

The falls occur where Depot Creek drops over a headwall. The creek starts off by plunging 200 ft. After that is a long slide of 767 ft to the bottom of the valley. Spray at the falls' base is immense. The average volume of the falls is 300-500 cubic feet per second of water, which flows over a nearly 1,000-foot (300 m) high cliff as a 125-foot (38 m)-wide river.

Reaching the falls is challenging. One has to drive up Depot Creek FSR from the Canadian side, which is in poor condition, before hiking about 8 mi to the falls. This is one reason the falls are seldom visited.
