About This Waterfall

To reach the Baker Lake area, proceed east on US 20 from the Burlington / Sedro Woolley area to the signed turn for Baker Lake (FR # 11) in Birdsview. Follow Road # 11 for 18.5 miles to the Boulder Creek Bridge (spectacular views of Mt. Baker here). Just beyond the bridge, turn left onto Road # 1130. Follow 1130 for 5.5 miles (1.1 miles past the Rainbow Falls overlook) to the roadside falls. Parking is available on the far side of the creek. Additionally, don't miss the spectacular views of Mt. Shuksan (and several waterfalls feeding Shuksan Creek) a few hundred feet up the road.Though it's modest size isn't anything to boast about, this is one of the most scenic waterfalls in the North Cascades. Tiny Morovitz Creek chutes down a narrow recess, next to a road that seemingly leads nowhere, but provides many great views of the surrounding area (including a spectacular view of Mt. Shuksan from a few hundred feet up the hill from this waterfall). Morovitz Creek may be partially spring fed, but I imagine that it's probably heavily reliable on the seasonal snow melt, so there is a chance it could dry out by late autumn.
