Yaak keeps a waterfall on its own river a short drive south, visible right off the highway, dogs and all. The big drops are close. Lower Falls plunges 308 feet and asks only 0.7 miles of walking, though the trail climbs 500 feet doing it. Upper Falls runs 109 feet after a half mile. Kootenai Falls on the big river toward Troy is the famous one, 1.6 miles with a swinging bridge thrown in. Twenty falls come inside the circle, dense country for falling water.
