Canyon Falls is the second of the three waterfalls on the South Fork Skykomish River.

The first is a powerful 20-foot plunge in which the relatively calm river suddenly attains chaotic state.

[2] On June 14, 1994, 19-year-old Steven Henderson pleaded guilty of first degree murder back on Feb 1st, when he killed his friend at the falls.

They soon got drunk and when his friend, Don E. Hood, made a remark about his mother, Henderson lost it.

He then dragged his friend to the edge of the rocks before pushing him into the falls, where he drowned.
