Cherry Creek Falls
Puget Sound and Islands
As of August 3, 2026, Cherry Creek Falls is accessible with minor trail obstacles. Several downed trees and branches require stepping over or ducking under, concentrated in the latter half of the hike. Some areas are overgrown and could use brushing, and a small stream crossing near the falls may require waterproof boots. Parking is limited at the trailhead and along Mountain View Road NE. A pass is not required. Trail navigation is recommended, as spur trails are present. Despite occasional crowds, especially on weekends, the falls offer a refreshing reward. The road to the trailhead was reported closed on July 11, 2026, but was open by July 24. There are no reports of snow.
