Shadow Falls drops about 25 feet on Yellow Dog Creek in the Idaho Panhandle National Forests, north of Kingston near Prichard, and is commonly paired with nearby Fern Falls. The falls are reached by a short, easy hike from the trailhead at the end of the access road.
At 25 ft, it stands above roughly 16% of the 775 documented falls in this guide.
The falls are fed by Yellow Dog Creek. You'll find it in Shoshone, Idaho. It is protected within Idaho Panhandle National Forests (USFS).
This is a short hike waterfall: reached by a short trail, generally under about a mile each way. A short walk gets you to the viewpoint, so it works for most casual visitors and families. Base a visit out of Prichard, the closest town.
When to go: spring. Like most waterfalls, Shadow Falls runs highest after snowmelt or heavy rain and can thin out in late summer, so it's worth checking recent streamflow and the land manager's conditions page before a long drive.
