About

Enjoy two spectacular views in one stop. Gorge Lake Overlook features a stunning view of Gorge Dam and Gorge Lake framed by the rugged North Cascade Mountains. A short, paved trail leads to the overlook. You can return the way you came or continue the loop on a graveled trail back to the parking area. From the pedestrian walkway across the bridge, you can view Gorge Creek Falls--a 242-foot cascade that feeds into nearby Gorge Lake.
