Mostly it's a stop along the way to other areas. Not a lot of touristy activities but staying over is pleasant enough. The people in the town are friendly. It's very small and there are only a few restaurants, so don't expect fancy fare, just basic pizza or diner food. There is a full service grocery store despite the small size of the town if none of the take out is appealing to you. There is a national park with access just east of the town with a passable road into the wilderness (summer only) that leads to some really beautiful scenery along the Thompson River. Lots of fly fishing on the lower portions of the Thompson.

It's a small, quaint, and beautiful town. The residents are friendly and helpful. It seems ideal for a quick getaway or perfect for a pit stop when travelling longer distances. Plenty of nature, water, and scenic views around.

It's a nice small town with friendly people. We had dinner at Big Eddy's Deck Bar, overlooking the river - good food and view! Some restaurants were closed for the July 4th weekend. We bought a latte and a bag of truly delicious donut holes at the Black Bear Coffee Shop. From The Falls Motel we were able to walk over the bridge and travel some trails, including one to Cherry Creek which was a beautiful surprise. It's was just an overnight stay, but it was very relaxing.

Full disclosure: we have family in this town, so we always enjoy the visits. We sometimes travel across the US a couple of times of year to Thompson Falls, and no matter what the season, we enjoy all the outdoor activities that we do there. The town in a small, charming place where the people who live there take great pride in. This is not the place for you if you want night life or entertainment other than a good hike, fly fishing, or soaking up the gorgeous scenery. In fact, I am reluctant to give the town a good review, as I hope it stays just the way it is--untainted by a lot of touristy things and people who expect citified accommodations. The town does have a nice network of family-friendly trails that emanate right from the center of town and/or the schools. And, to get ready for all the outdoor activity you can enjoy, eat at Minnie's. The breakfasts are big enough for two meals--or two people.
