Mesachie Falls is a 106-foot waterfall on Bear Creek in Skagit County, Washington, in the North Cascades region. It lies about 24.2 miles east of Sedro-Woolley and roughly 35.8 miles east of Bellingham as the crow flies.
At 106 feet it is taller than the typical Washington waterfall of about 82 feet, ranking 385th of 941 with a recorded height. By form it is a cascade, descending over a series of rock steps rather than in a single drop.
The North Cascades are a wilderness of jagged peaks, glaciers and deep, forested valleys of western hemlock, silver fir and Douglas fir, with some of the heaviest snowfall in the country. Meltwater from glaciers and snowfields pours down thousands of feet of cliffs in countless cascades and horsetail falls. Bear Creek carries 14 recorded waterfalls, and Mesachie Falls is the tallest of them.
Skagit County holds 178 recorded waterfalls, and several are close by. Klahanie Falls, a 59-foot plunge waterfall, is under a mile away. Laplash Falls, a 47-foot cascade waterfall, is under a mile away. Lower Klahanie Falls, a 72-foot cascade waterfall, is under a mile away.
