Palouse Falls State Park is home to Washington’s official state waterfall. Located in the southeast, it covers about 105 acres and features stunning views of the falls and its canyon, shaped by ancient Ice Age forces. Visitors can explore a short, well-maintained trail that provides access to three safe viewing points, making it suitable for families with children and those with mobility challenges. The park offers picnic tables, restrooms, and shaded areas for relaxation. It’s a great spot for stargazing due to its low light pollution. Be prepared for a gravel road leading to the park and a Discover Pass or parking fee for access.
