    Water is COLD, but don't let that stop you! Took my nieces and nephew to this waterfall last year and they loved it so much that we went again this year. The falls have a fence up close to the parking lot (and for good reason since there is an abrupt and potentially deadly edge at the very top of the main falls), but locals don't let that stop them. Aside from the top, the rest of the falls are very safe. From the parking lot, there is a short and steep path down to the top of the falls - though not treacherous. Definitely use caution. Two pools are accessable at the top of the falls; an upper pool (the one I let my nieces and nephew play in) and a lower pool (which sits at the top of the falls). The water from Fennel Creek wasn't strong enough to cause concern, though this may fluctuate between seasons. The tunnel that allows the water to flow under the road is worth getting your feet wet. Overall, this is a very pleasant place to visit.

    It's a nice little picnic spot, but it's impossible to get down to the falls because there is a fence or a very steep drop off. They are pretty from the viewpoint though. I would plan for 10 mins here unless you are picnicking then you will need a bit more time. Just a small grassy lot with 2 picnic tables, no play equipment or anything else.

    Great waterfall, beautiful views, able to carefully climb down to the bottom.

    This waterfall park is a small, cute and beautiful neighborhood type. Don’t expect too much. There are picnic tables and BBQ pits. Porta potty restroom available. Ample parking. Blackberries are pretty abundant during the season. My pictures attached are from 2018 and 2019. I brought my brother here in 2019 when he flew from Cali to spend 5 days vacation. We enjoyed this park. It’s small and quaint.

    This place is so beautiful but the water was very muddy from a recent rain. It was great to visit this spot.

    This is a nice little park, it had a couple benches and a couple of charcoal BBQs,, as well as a porta potty, its not a large park but the scenery makes up for that. There are multiple waterfalls to see close to the park. The park is adjacent to a private home.

    The fall is hidden, and easy to miss if you're just riding by without a GPS on! It's located behind the parking area that is adjacent to a private residence, behind the Victor Falls Park sign. You don't want to miss it it's beautiful πŸ₯°

    Great little park! Bigger than expected waterfall with benches, a picnic table, and a porta potty. There's a house across the street with some emu and alpaca as a bonus. Be careful crossing the street though. Also the edge of the waterfall overlook is nice and steep with a fence.

    Was driving back from Seattle to Vancouver and we took a detour to visit this park. It was awesome, nice, quiet, and peaceful. I wish we had brought some food for a picnic.

    Emu across the street on a private road but you can get picturea from the park parking lot. Owner is very territorial so I DO NO RECOMMEND driving on the private road that the emu lives on. Just enjoy from the public parking lots

    A wonderful place to hang out and chat. Especially good for little kids. Don’t expect to get close to the waterfall because the trail going down is pretty sketchy. Overall a delightfully relaxing place to sit and think, not but a 10 second walk from the parking lot. Bring a lock pick kit if you want to try your hand at removing some of the vandalized locked. πŸ˜‚ πŸ”‘

    I really want to put more stars but it is what it is. Victor Falls really isn't set up for hiking more for parking, looking at the waterfalls and putting your love lock on the fence. There is a trail to get down to the falls but its caution taped off with cliff signs everywhere. The park area does have apple trees in the summer.

    Park is located in an out of the way spot but that's where the waterfall is. Picnic tables, a couple bbq grills, and a really serene atmosphere. A lovely falls and really steep cliff so be careful near the edge. Lovely picnic area for locals or visitors.

  • 4/5 Nathan H. 8 months ago on Google β€’ 28 reviews
    Extremely difficult and dangerous terrain to repel to get down to the bottom of the falls, unless you have the right gear for it, of course. It's blocked off with fencing, due to a 100 foot cliff, and a teen fell approximately 100 ft. in July and had to be rescued (not the first fall, definitely won't be the last I'm sure). I was told there is another route from downstream to see the falls at the bottom, but I believe it is a private road to get to Fennel creek, otherwise only photos will be from the park side above the falls. The park is fine, a few benches and picnic tables, can bring your dog, but it's fairly small. For the above reasons, I can only give it 3 stars.

    Great stop for those who can only handle a quick walk , stretch your legs , check out the little farm across the street, use the porta potty ( :

  • 2/5 Jesse James W. 1 year ago on Google
    Not a lot here, especially with all the fences up to keep people away from the falls. There is currently an opening in the fence and no signage indicating not to enter, so we safely ventured down to make our trip worth it. More development of this park, like a boardwalk of safe viewing platforms, could vastly improve the experience. Neighbor seems dissatisfied with the park as they have β€œyou’re on camera” signs up. Cute goats and alpaca checking us out from across the road. Currently not worth a special trip.

    Small park. Great for a quiet moment to think or have lunch. Not very large, unable to get to falls due to fencing and no access areas.

    The waterfall is kinda cool but you really can't see it that well. Calling this a park is a bit ambitious. There isn't much to do other than peek at the falls then leave. Was fairly surprised as how little there was to do.

    Small and out of the way. Mostly just a parking lot and a view of the falls. You can be alone and take time to read. No shelter or picnic tables. Port-a-pot and a bench.

    This is a local gem that I'm surprised I never visited before. I took my grand-nieces and nephews here, and the waterfall was absolutely spectacular. I will be going back.

    A quick drive away from Graham in Bonney Lake this is a beautiful waterfall worth the short trip, for our group anyway.

    This is not a hike. This is a picnic area where you can see a waterfall from a specific place. The photos you are seeing of people hiking close to the falls are ignoring the signs that say "DANGER CLIFF" and "DO NOT ENTER".

  • 5/5 Brandy S. 3 months ago on Google β€’ 53 reviews New
    I liked the smallness of it. It was a nice and short walk for me. I enjoyed taking pictures and a video of the waterfall. I want to go back with my boyfriend to place the love lock on the fence deal.

  • 4/5 Georgia W. 1 year ago on Google
    Not a safe place to hike especially with kids or animals. Stunning scenery. It's quite the drop... My friend found a body at the bottom when he was a kid. Porta potty bathroom and a couple picnic tables and free parking. The llamas across the street are pretty awesome... Always show respect to the llamas and the home owners if you visit and wanna say hi.

  • 5/5 Laura H. 10 months ago on Google
    It's always a great trip to Victor falls. Even when I was a teenager and the park wasn't there I loved it. Of course now it's a lot safer, I'm not going to lie though and tell you I like it better than before though, that is just the thrill seeker in me.

  • 3/5 Jeremy B. 1 year ago on Google
    A great stop along the way. The falls are quite beautiful. Unfortunately the trails have been closed for a couple of years and there are no plans to reopen. The park area has a couple of picnic tables and there is one overused portable restroom.

  • 5/5 cheyenne w. 1 year ago on Google
    My favorite place to come to, favorite waterfall in Washington by far .I come here so much. Good and bad days. Anytime im coming through Bonney lake/Sumner I have to make the stop. Really beautiful on these sunny days . Llamas and goats across the street . Even got to see the local fire department training here one day, so cool to see that they do that.

    It was pretty but everything was boarded off so couldn't get a up close picture

  • 5/5 Doug W. 1 year ago on Google
    Hidden little waterfall right off the road. Easy walk to view the falls. Be careful if you walk down to the falls as there are no safety measures to keep you from getting too close.

  • 5/5 Andrea D. 1 year ago on Google
    Very beautiful waterfall that is very far down if you were to fall. Which in the past 14 years I’ve lived here in Bonney Lake I for sure know of two separate occasions of people falling. Very scary. Nice hiking trail and walking path depending on what you want to do or headed.

  • 5/5 Qwerty B. 1 year ago on Google
    Fun beautiful hiking area, definitely will go again.

  • 5/5 Bethany 2 years ago on Google
    The falls are beautiful! Kinda sad that they have the trail leading further down cordoned off, but it might be for the best considering how steep the slope is.

  • 4/5 Sarah C. 4 months ago on Google β€’ 2 reviews
    This is a small park with a nice waterfall. I don't think it's really intended for hikers, but great for someone who's not physically up to a long trail, since you park very close to the waterfall. We visited because it's close to George's Bonney Lake Tavern, and it made a perfect half-hour side trip.
