Marymere Falls

Clallam County, WA

If not unquestionably the most popular waterfall in Olympic National Park, Marymere Falls fights for the title with Sol Duc Falls. Starting from the Storm King Ranger Station, a pleasant trail through the moss-laden forest accesses the 119 foot falls and serves as a prime attraction along the Lake Crescent corridor for people of all ages. The falls occur as Falls Creek funnels through a notch in a high cliff, often choked with a small logjam, plunging into a mossy amphitheater. A smaller lower fall of about 15-20 feet in height can be seen a short distance downstream (small bushes and trees partially obscure it from view however). The trail loops past two viewpoints for the falls, one high up on the hillside providing a view down on the falls, and the other from a ledge directly opposite the base of the falls.
