Bear Creek Falls is the final of the two waterfalls on the North Fork Skykomish River in the U.S. state of Washington. The falls are located within a short, narrow canyon.[1]

The falls, at just 25 feet high, are quite insignificant, however are quite significant in terms of how much water is flowing over them. They drop about 8 meters in a series of cascades and punchbowls. Because the gorge is rather twisted, it is hard to see portions of the falls, let alone photograph them.
