About This Waterfall
The stream flowing out of the Paradise Lakes in the headwaters of the North Fork Snoqualmie River produces at least two noteworthy waterfalls. Paradise Lakes Falls is the larger of the two, dropping about 200 feet (maybe more) down a granite sluice before merging with the North Fork itself. Though the basin harboring the Paradise Lakes is relatively small, the stream does move a fair amount of water during the melt season. I'm not sure whether the falls run dry late in the year like nearby Kanim Falls, but its a possibility. I'll have to get back some time soon and try to approach the base of the falls in order to provide more information.
