Wildcat Falls
About
Wildcat Falls is a waterfall in Pierce County, Washington, sitting at about 1,009 feet elevation and roughly 1.6 miles from the town of Eatonville. It makes an easy add-on for anyone already spending time around Eatonville. The most comfortable time to visit is July and August, when typical highs reach about 76°F and there are only around five wet days a month, based on averages from a nearby weather station. That station sits about 430 feet lower than the falls, so temperatures at the falls run a little cooler. Several other outings lie close by. The Bud Blancher Trail is about 1.4 miles away, and Ohop Creek offers canoeing about 1.9 miles off. Little Mashel Falls Trail, about 2.6 miles away, pairs naturally with a visit to another waterfall, and the Mashel River, about 3.3 miles away, offers more paddling.
