Meet at Whatcom Falls Park parking by fish hatchery, Silver Beach Road
Let’s explore Whatcom Falls Park. We’ll start in the parking lot, and make our way through a wooded section to Derby Pond. There should be opportunities for various viewings there. We’ll continue up the trail that will lead to the wetlands adjacent to Scudder Pond on the NW side. After spending some time in the wetlands area, if time permits, we will work our way over to Scudder Pond. The loop continues back along Whatcom Falls Creek and eventually to our starting point. Of course, no trip would be complete without a view of the old stone bridge built by WPA to view the falls.
There are bathrooms available. We will be walking mostly on gravel paths although some of the forest paths have uneven ground. There will be very minimal elevation gain. If we make our way to Scudder Pond, viewing from Electric Avenue, we would need to be careful since the viewing area is right next to the road where there are no sidewalks.
