Tailrace Falls   (Confirmed)
   King County, Washington

[ Physical Makeup ]  [ Pictures ]  [ Maps ]  [ Update History ]

This waterfall occurs along an unnamed stream as it plunges into the North Fork Snoqualmie River which would be otherwise unnoteable, except that the tailrace from the Black Creek Hydroelectric facility feeds directly into the stream above the falls, effectively allowing it to flow when it otherwise may not. The hydro facility doesn't seem to operate based on excess flow in its tapped stream, so the consistency of this waterfall is in question.
