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

Enjoyed the spring runoff in the river while taking in the view of the falls. Parked at the Woburn Street entrance to the park and walked east to the falls. The trail is well groomed and very firm … Full review by ND F
My Dad had a stroke, so can do a short eady walk, but nothing long or steep. Would this be assesable for him. This looks so beautiful and we would love to see this.

This is a tough one to answer. The walk to the bridge and falls is very very short but quite steep. We took my elderly Mom down it with one person on each side of her. It tired her out but she did well and was happy to see the falls. Perhaps a wheelchair? You would still need two people because of the steepness. Bless you and your Dad, may he have a good recovery.
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 trail is in the middle of the parking lot to the left if you are driving in. I did not do the whole trail only to the bridge where the main falls are.
