Deception Falls is a 94-foot (29 m) waterfall that flows from Deception Creek just over Stevens Pass, approximately 1856 feet above sea level, located in the U.S. state of Washington. Shortly downstream Deception Creek empties into Tye River. While flow may run dry in the late season, Deception Falls trail remains open in the Summer and Falls seasons. Deception Falls is located north of Interstate 90 in the Mount Baker–Snoqualmie National Forest. A hiking trail leads from a parking area to the falls.

Don't short yourself, Do the full walk around the ENTIRE trail. It is not that long, probably a mile or so at most but really nice.

This is a great stop and stretch your legs place. Short walk to the falls. We happen to be there when the water was flowing really high. Great picture opportunity and neat little place.

Nicely shaded scenic trail with several spots to view and photograph the falls. The trail is well maintained with two options with obstacles or without. Super easy and short little hike.

Very well maintained recreation area with an easy trail leading to Deception Falls and multiple viewpoints across the river - including an older river bed. Super easy 0.6 mile kids-friendly trail directly accessible from the parking lot (left side of the road when you drive east).
