Fast water: Six waterfalls to see on the North Shore

"Awesome, five-star waterfalls easily seen if you park in the lot just south of the Hwy. 61 bridge and view from the walkway on the bridge." An even better experience is walking down the river's edge. Park in the lot at Lax Lake Road and Hwy. 61. Take the left fork.

"A place to stretch your legs on a trip up the shore and see a four-star falls."

"One of our favorite waterfalls on an adventurous drive into the backcountry." The trail hike can present challenges (rocky and steep in spots), but the payoff is worth it. It's possible to stand on outcroppings within feet of the base.
