Deer Falls is a waterfall in Washington. Height has not been officially recorded. Access details and conditions have not yet been verified in person by Fallspots — the data on this page comes from OpenStreetMap and USGS GNIS.
Deer Falls is the uppermost waterfall on the North Fork Skykomish River. The falls occur within a short but impressive canyon just above the mouth of Goblin Creek.
