Paradise Lakes are a set of three small freshwater lakes located on a clif of the north skirt of Bare Mountain, in King County, Washington. Paradise Lakes sit in a bowl formed by a ridge that connects to the south ridge of Lennox Mountain. Paradise Lakes have an outflow that is a tributary of the North Fork of the Snoqualmie River from its source, Lake Kanim.

Waterfalls

After the outflow of Paradise Lakes, halfway to the North Fork, the river plunges down a granite sluice into 200 feet (61 m) tall Paradise Lakes Falls, one of the biggest waterfalls of the North Fork Snoqualmie River as is neighboring Kanim Falls.[2] On the opposite end, to the west of Paradise lakes is the origin of Illinois Creek which produces two waterfalls, 140 feet (43 m) tall Beaverdale Falls,[3] and 120 feet (37 m) tall Illinois Creek Falls.[4]
