Ennis Falls

Ennis Falls is a surprisingly tall, but likely moderately seasonal waterfall found along a major branch of Ennis Creek on the east side of the Samish River Valley near the tiny town of Wickersham. The falls drop a total of 77 feet in three steps, in drops of 58, 19, and 6 feet respectively, with a few more smaller cascades below as the creek merges with the main stem of Ennis Creek. The falls are quite scenic given the abundance of thick, unpleasant underbrush in the area, with the exception of a significant mass of logs which have fallen into the ravine and strewn themselves across the falls. The stream feeding the falls has a drainage area of about one square mile, but being situation at a low elevation which won't receive a lot of snow, there will be a reliance on rain to keep the volume up. There are several sections of marsh above the falls which will allow water to be released at an even rate during the wet season, but during the summer when the precipitation subsides, expect the volume of this waterfall to be reduced considerably.
