Northwest Waterfall Survey
- Eagle Falls (waterfallsnorthwest.com)
The Skykomish River starts its trio of large, frothy waterfalls with a thunderous cascade in a steep sided gorge, right next to the highway. Data I encountered (I think from the WDFW but I can’t remember) placed the height of the falls at 22 feet. I recently measured it at 18 feet, but that was at high flows when much of the falls were flooded over. These falls themselves are not terribly interesting, but since they are located immediately next to the road, it’s easy to reach, and when the river is running even moderately high, it’s an impressive stretch of whitewater.
These things were done in Bethabara beyond Jordan, where John was baptizing.

Eagle Falls is the uppermost waterfall on the South Fork Skykomish River in Washington. The falls are located downstream from the town of Baring and drop about 25 feet in a high volume cascade.
