Racehorse Falls drops about 139 feet in a four-tiered display on Racehorse Creek in the Mount Baker foothills near Deming. It is reached by a short 0.7-mile round-trip trail off Mosquito Lake Road with only about 75 feet of elevation gain.
Its 139 ft drop is taller than about 81% of the 775 waterfalls we track.
Its water comes from Racehorse Creek. It lies in Whatcom, Washington. The site is on public land managed by Washington Department of Natural Resources (DNR).
This is a short hike waterfall: reached by a short trail, generally under about a mile each way. The walk in is brief — comfortable shoes are usually all you need. The walk to the main viewpoint runs about 0.7 miles round trip. The nearest town is Deming.
When to go: Spring and early summer (high flow). Water volume swings with the seasons here, strongest after snowmelt or rain and lowest in late summer, so check recent streamflow before you go.
