Upper Little Goose Creek Falls
   Skamania County, Washington

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

This 11 foot tall often ignored and rather unimpressive waterfall occurs just above Little Goose Creek Falls. Unless you're a waterfall nut, just leave this one alone. The falls are visible from the trail along the south side of Little Goose Creek Canyon, and from the creekside at the falls' base, which is accessed by climbing down a rude path from the gorge rim then wading through the brush lining the pool below the falls. The falls take on a Punchbowl form during low water periods.
