Char Falls

Char Falls
Take a refreshing and peaceful break from the route with the next stop at Char Falls. To reach the waterfall, park in the nearby parking lot and follow the sounds of rushing water to Lightning Creek. It’s an easy walk out to the falls, and well worth it to take in the setting. This special spot is part of Idaho Panhandle National Forests, and other than the sounds of nearby wildlife, remote enough not to be crowded. The stunning 50-foot waterfall is a good place to rest and take a break, or to take some photos of Northern Idaho’s unspoiled, natural scenery. Visitors can hike around all over the rocks near the falls, but be careful as going over the waterfall wouldn’t end well.
