Description
Wallace Falls State Park is a 4,735-acre (19.16 km2) Washington state park located on the west side of the Cascade Mountains, 2 miles (3.2 km) northeast of Gold Bar on the Wallace River. The park features three waterfalls, old-growth coniferous forests, fast-moving rivers and streams, and three backcountry lakes: Wallace, Jay, and Shaw. The name "Wallace" is a corruption of the last name of Joe and Sarah Kwayaylsh, members of the Skykomish tribe, who were the first homesteaders in the area.[2] Visible in the park is evidence of logging, including railroad trestle ruins, old railroad grades, and springboard notches in old stumps.
