Marsh Creek Falls is a waterfall in Washington. It drops roughly 89 feet. Access details and conditions have not yet been verified in person by Fallspots — the data on this page comes from OpenStreetMap and USGS GNIS.
Marsh Creek Falls is in Washington. The base sits at roughly 672 feet of elevation. Drive time is about 5 minutes from North Sultan. A trail — Falls Trail — runs within 10 meters of the marked location. No public parking is recorded within 2 km, so a longer approach is likely. It draws modest visitor attention — busier weekends, quiet weekdays. Source records come from OpenStreetMap.
Is the water flowing right now?
Most waterfall sites don't tell you this. The waterfall itself is almost never gauged, but a USGS streamgage in the same watershed can tell you whether snowmelt has started, peaked, or run dry.
