"Whatcom Falls Park -Forest in the middle of a city" Top 5 Page for this destination Bellingham Off The Beaten Path Tip by Bellinghamster

Large park (209 acres) in the middle of the city, we have a few of those, with Whatcom Creek running through it. The city's water plant is here, as is a State of Washington fish hatchery. Bordered by Bayview Cemetary, Lakway Dr, Alabama Hill neighborhood, and Electric Ave.

Lots of trails that locals use. Lots of dog walkers, bikers, in the summer there is swimming and diving in a large pool. There is a fishing derby pond for opening day of trout fishing. The dam that controls the level of Lake Whatcom is at the upper end of the park.

The city has shelters for rent for your event. There are large lawns, playgrounds, basketball court, tennis courts, etc. The signature peice of the park is the stone bridge over Whatcom creek near one of the falls.
