The falls are a long cascade totaling about {{convert|140|ft|m}}. The falls are made up of several small drops, none over 20 feet high, and can be just a trickle when the river is really low or likely quite large when the river is high.[1] The location of this waterfall is often marked on older maps as being just downstream of the mouth of Smith Creek. The true location is just below the outlet of Lake Dorathy, at a bend in the river. The falls are located within a narrow gorge. {{clear}}West ForkBorderline Falls| name = Borderline Falls | photo = | photo_caption = | location = King County, Washington, United States | type = Cascade | height = {{convert|20|ft|m}} | width = {{convert|10|ft|m}} | watercourse = West Fork Miller River | number_drops = 1 }}Borderline Falls, at {{coord|47|39|33|N|121|24|44|W}}, is a located about 1.5 miles upstream from the mouth of the West Fork and about 0.6 miles above Immigration Falls.
