Two smaller falls can be found further upstream within
the park. Canada Island Falls (u), USGS Spokane NW (1986 ns)
is situated just above the east end of the island. Diversion Dam
Falls (u), USGS Spokane NW (1986 ns) occurs upstream of Washington
Street bridge. Visitor maps show locations of 16 viewpoints for all
of the falls in the park.
Nine Mile Falls, USGS Nine Mile Falls (1986 ns)
and Albeni Falls, USGS Newport (1986 ns), no longer exist due to
the dam and reservoir system of the Spokane and Pend Oreille Rivers.
Nothing more than a riffle could be found at Calispell Creek Falls (u),
USGS Sacheen Lake (1986 nl). Access is prohibited on the private
property leading to Buckeye Creek Falls (u), USGS Chapman Lake (1980
nl).
