Newhalem Falls is located in the town of Newhalem and drops right into the Skagit River from the opposite side. It can be seen from the little road that runs alongside the River, but the best views require a very short, very easy scramble down to the banks of the Skagit. This falls runs dry during the summer, but during the rainy season or during spring melt, it can be very nice. Bring the kids to see this falls and nearby Ladder Creek Falls on your way to Winthrop.
