COUNTY LINE FALLS

RATING - 4/10

TYPE OF APPROACH - Bushwhack

DIFFICULTY - Medium

LOCATION - Baker Lake Area

TYPE - Plunge

HEIGHT - 25'

WIDTH - 10'

This small, but very pretty waterfall occurs on Rocky Creek just downstream from where Baker Lake Road crosses over the creek.  It can be seen through the trees from just off the road.   Getting up close views requires a short but very steep climb down the hillside.   The pool at the base of the falls is a beautiful green color and would be a nice spot to cool off in the summer time.  I named this one County Line Falls because of its close proximity to the boundary between Whatcom and Skagit Counties.  If you can come up with something better I'm open to suggestions.
DIRECTIONS - Follow Baker Lake Road for around 12 miles until the county line and pull off near a small clear cut on the right side of the road (just before the big bridge over Rocky Creek).   Follow a rather faint path through the logs and stickers to the edge of the canyon and peer down to see the falls.  For those who don't mind a very steep scramble down the canyon wall will eventually provide you with a clear view of the falls.
