Granite Falls Waterfall & Fish Ladder
waterfall, fish ladder, bridge, river,sponsor
This is really a three-in-one stop! The waterfall is the natural scenic feature after which the nearby town of Granite Falls was named.
In 1954 the longest vertical slot fish ladder in the world was built to allow fish to bypass the Falls and breed upstream. A 280-foot long tunnel was blasted through the solid granite to complement the stair-step design that permits fish to work their way upstream.
Finally, the bridge just upstream is worth a look in itself, offering great views from its walkway. Funded in February 1934, it was completed five months later, a huge step toward opening the Mountain Loop. The bridge opening ceremony bragged of it being the Entrance to God’s Mountain Playground.
The bridge offers photo ops that will please your camera.
