Prospector Falls

PROSPECTOR FALLS
RATING - 22.4 VR - 3.6 (Med/Sm) HR - 4.0 SR - 8/20 TYPE OF APPROACH - Trail DIFFICULTY - Easy LOCATION - Lake Whatcom Area TYPE - Tiered HEIGHT - 55' WIDTH - 5'	Prospector Falls is located along the North Lake Whatcom Trail just east of Bellingham. The falls are about 1 mile up the trail which is a very nice walk anyway. During the summer this creek gets pretty small but never runs dry. I recommend visiting the falls in autumn after a few days of rain. That way the creek should be higher and the trail is lined by a tremendous variety of trees so the kids can have fun looking for different types of leaves.
DIRECTIONS - Take the Lakeway Drive exit in Bellingham off of I-5 (exit 253). Turn left onto North Shore Drive and follow it around Lake Whatcom. Eventually the road will end at the North Lake Whatcom Trail. Follow the trail for about 1 mile to the falls which are pretty much impossible to miss. There is a wooden bridge over the creek just in case. If the creeks are high, continue on to Reveille Falls a half a mile further along the trail.
