Wallace Falls is a 4,735-acre camping park with shoreline on the Wallace River, Wallace Lake, Jay Lake, Shaw Lake, and the Skykomish River. Located on the west side of the Cascade Mountains, the park features a 265-foot waterfall, old-growth coniferous forests, and fast- moving rivers and streams, as well as pportunities to view local wildlife, including cougar near Wallace Falls and peregrine falcons on the rock cliffs of Index Town Wall.
Visitors to Wallace Falls State Park, upwards of 160,000 per year, are drawn to this beautiful Cascade Foothills setting as an easy escape from the bustle of nearby urban areas. The Middle Falls on the Wallace Falls trail system is truly awe-inspiring with its 265-foot, single-plunge cataract. The park offers a rock-climbing wall eight miles east near Index, along with swimming access five miles east at Big Eddy.
