Overview

Palouse Falls State Park in southeast Washington, the state waterfall, has a 200-foot falls on the Palouse River in a 377-foot basalt canyon carved by the Ice Age floods, about four miles above the Snake River. The park has overlooks, interpretive displays on the geology and Palouse Indian history, and a campground. Stay behind the fences, as the cliffs are dangerous.
