Tower Fall is a 132-foot waterfall on Tower Creek in Yellowstone National Park, located near Tower Fall Campground and the historic Tower Fall General Store in the park’s northern section. An easy roadside pullout provides direct access to a viewing area, requiring no hiking and minimal time investment.
The waterfall is visible from the pullout near the campground, making this ideal for visitors stopping en route to or from other northern Yellowstone attractions like Mammoth Hot Springs or the Lamar Valley. The Tower area also hosts the Tower Fall Campground, which offers overnight facilities and a general store with basic supplies.
Dogs are not permitted on any park trails or in developed areas. Yellowstone’s $35 per vehicle, 7-day entrance fee applies. No closure alerts were found on NPS pages as of September 2026, indicating reliable access to the overlook year-round, weather permitting.
