Salmon Falls is a 10-foot waterfall on Little Naches River in Yakima County, Washington, in the Eastern Cascades Slopes and Foothills region. It lies about 15.4 miles southwest of Cle Elum and roughly 42.2 miles northwest of Yakima as the crow flies.
At 10 feet it is on the modest side for Washington, where the typical waterfall with a recorded height stands around 82 feet; it ranks 927th of 941. By form it is a cascade, descending over a series of rock steps rather than in a single drop.
The Eastern Cascades Slopes and Foothills lie in the rain shadow of the Cascade crest, with open ponderosa pine forest, lodgepole pine and dry meadows on volcanic terrain. Spring-fed rivers on the porous lava ground stay remarkably steady through the year.
