 Craig Lakes Falls is a massive waterfall located near the
headwaters of the Boulder River. The falls are
somewhere in the 400-600' tall range and fall in two,
back-to-back tiers. Getting an up close view appears
to be a difficult ordeal, but it's one I'm hoping to partake
in this summer. The one view I've found of the falls
is from across the valley, about 10 miles away and even from
there the falls look impressive. Up close, this looks
to be one of the best waterfalls in NW Washington. If
I can get up close to the falls, expect the rating to go
way, way up. |
| DIRECTIONS - Drive east of Arlington on HWY 530 and turn left onto Lake Cavanaugh Road. Follow this road uphill for a couple miles to a sharp switchback to the right and a closed old logging road heading straight ahead. Park here and look almost directly southwest up the Boulder River. The falls should be visible beneath Three Fingers. | |
