Waterfall Hikes Near Kettle Falls, WA

Kettle Falls is named for a Columbia River waterfall that disappeared under Lake Roosevelt after Grand Coulee Dam was built, and the town moved to the community of Meyers Falls before the water rose. The old falls site lies inside Lake Roosevelt National Recreation Area, where leashed dogs are allowed except in developed swim beach areas. Meyers Falls itself, on the Colville River at the edge of town, is the closest listed fall. Douglass Falls, at Douglas Falls Grange Park north of Colville, has a 1.5-mile round-trip nature loop open to leashed dogs, and Sherman Creek Falls sits west across the lake. The page counts 18 falls within 50 miles, five of them over the border in British Columbia.
