Washington State Parks
It is disgraceful how the parks dept has let this park dry up....such a unique sight, but now looks unkempt and unloved. You would think someone could turn on some irrigation and mow this small park....
We enjoyed seeing the falls along with everyone else, BUT the road going into the falls is a mess. Such a rough wash board road. With all the traffic coming and going the road needs to be paved for better viewing attractions. Everyone I spoke to about the falls said it was a wonderful sight to behold but the road sucks big time.
Stopped at parking lot, walked down to view signage and determine whether to stop for lunch or camp overnight. Found ranger writing me ticket for not displaying Discover Pass. There should be a 5 minute grace period for people to make up there minds. 
Breathtaking,I could watch the falls all day! it is easy to view from parking lot for those with disabilities or young ones.Beautiful, lots of birds,grassy camping. Trails to the lower falls easy to hike. Top falls or to go down below is not easy for most. planning a trip back soon. Agnes Sell was my great grandmother. My parents and I are looking for long lost relatives. Message to [email protected] For those of you posting here that you are related to Agnes Sell, please contact me. I too am related to Agnes, she was my great, great grandmother. I am looking for family info to add to our family tree... more so, I am looking for family! Thanks! I can be contacted at [email protected]. its a very nice place to go camping thers lots of trees in the campsite so your alwats cool, and thers lots of things to do there you could go hiking fishing cliff diving its a blast
The view is fabulous, but would not recommend for camping. me and my family visited the falls this summer. my grandfathers mothers mother was Agne Sells. she homesteaded part of the land. and later gave it to the state. Tremendous falls, in the winter it is better than Niagara falls, in summer great swimming and water fun. Be careful in the heat! The geological diminution of the region is a representation of a time of glacial action. The power of the Palouse River is seen as it cuts through the igneous rock prevalent to the area. The falls itself is an impressive site. If you look carefully you can see the animal inhabitants. Being a part of the parks begining history I have to say it is an excellent camping place. There used to be a concession stand in the park when it first opened. The first park ranger, my Grandfather, and his wife, my grandmother, ran the park and planted most of the plant life you see today. As a child I spent many memorable days exploring upstream as well as down. Explorers beware the rattlers. My Grandmothers mother, Agnes Sell, donated a good portion of the land which the park sits on. My family still owns property up to the parks borders.
