About This Waterfall
Devil Falls is a small, fairly powerful, and quite scenic two-tiered waterfall along Finney Creek. The upper drop is a powerful 11-foot tall plunge where the creek is forced into a narrow flume-like gorge with neat sculpted rock walls. After flowing through the gorge for about 100 feet, the creek swishes through a narrower notch and dumps another 17-feet into a huge blue-green pool which should serve as a fantastic swimming hole in the summer months when the undertow from the falls is minimized.The falls are said to have been named by members of the Janicki family, who have a long history of running logging and mining operations in the Skagit Valley dating back over 100 years. Exactly when and from whom the name originated is not known, however the name was likely meant to play as a comparison to nearby Angel Falls.
