Olympic National Park is an otherworldly destination, and it’s jam-packed with stunning natural wonders to explore. And while you’ll find hiking trails of all lengths and for all abilities there, nothing tops a short, easy hike with an amazing payoff. And if you hike the Marymere Falls Trail, the visual delights never end.
Marymere Falls is located on the Northern Coast of the Olympic Peninsula, near Lake Crescent.
Ashley Cunha / alltrails.com The entire trail is under two miles in length, but it covers a lot of beautiful ground and showcases the peninsula’s rich diversity.
You’ll start your adventure from the Storm King Ranger Station on a paved path and continue through an old-growth forest for about half a mile.
Leslie Davison / alltrails.com You’ll eventually come to a junction, and you’ll want to veer left.
From glimpses of Lake Crescent to the towering trees and tranquil river views, this trail showcases the rugged natural beauty of the Pacific Northwest.

You’ll pass several small waterfalls along the way, each one more beautiful than the last…

… and before you know it, you’ll see Marymere Falls.
Jordan Smith / alltrails.com Marymere Falls was named in honor of Mary Alice Barnes, sister of Charles Barnes, a member of the Press Expedition and early homesteader.
While the waterfall is spectacular, make sure to take some time to enjoy the views from the top.
