Wallace Falls State Park is a 4,735-acre Washington state park located on the west side of the Cascade Mountains, 2 miles northeast of Gold Bar on the Wallace River. The park features three waterfalls, old-growth coniferous forests, fast-moving rivers and streams, and three backcountry lakes: Wallace, Jay, and Shaw. The name "Wallace" is a corruption of the last name of Joe and Sarah Kwayaylsh, members of the Skykomish tribe, who were the first homesteaders in the area.
