A very beautiful hike through a forest that is close to a mile long. I recommend you decide if you are going to climb the steps to see the falls before you go all the way there. You will not see any of the falls unless you climb the steps (I estimate the amount of steps to be about going up a six story building) I am in my 70s and went up the steps but I do hiking and biking three times a week to stay in shape; others my age did not attempt it and went back. The park employee said there are about seven accidents per week they have to get emergency help for people who fall on the steps. They are wooden and very slippery when they are wet. Luckily they were dry when we were there. If you want to see a good flow go in May. We were there in September and the flow was much less than it was early in the summer (as we were told). See attached for a photo of the falls in late September.

This was an easy and pleasant intro to the beautiful fearn and moss filled forests. Imagine it would be fantastic in the spring.

Lots of friendly people sharing a trail to a nice waterfall. Very easy walk at first followed by a very steep climb aided by stairs.

Great short out and back hike. Midpoint is the falls which are beautiful. There is climb to the falls but its short and not bad at all. My 3 year old was able to do it easily. Great hike through the forest, near a stream, over cool wooden bridges and ends at the waterfall that has several outlooks. Worth your time.

First visit July 2021. This is a really nice waterfall that's a short walk from the parking area. Recommended if you're in the vicinity but not a sufficient destination unto itself.

We visited several areas in ONP while we stayed in Port Angeles. This short hike ended up being one of our favorites. It was originally the last option on our must see list and ended up ironically being our favorite in the area which is somewhat shocking to admit because there are so many beautiful areas to visit in ONP.

An easy hike of about 1.5 miles round trip with a beautiful waterfall at the end. Only the last part is steep, the rest is easy.

The trail was quite crowded but that was to be expected on an end-of-summer weekend. The last part of the trail is a steep climb up steps but the distance is short. Total round trip is a bit less than 2 miles.

A longer but nicer route (with 4 viewpoints) starts at Lake Crescent Lodge. The 1.8 Mike version starts at Storm King Ranger station.

The trail for Marymere Falls is also the first part of the Mount Storm King trail which we did not do. We only did the 1.5 mile loop somewhat easy (until the end) hike to the falls on Saturday 7/31.
When you get close to the end to the falls, there is a little strenuous climb to the viewpoint. The beginning of the trail is through the forest. Flat and easy. We did actually see some people get down to the falls but we did not.
It was pretty crowded when we were there around 10:30 am. It took us 30 minutes to get to the falls.

Is there any place to swim here?

No on swimming except in very hot summer - if there is such a thing here! The lake is fed from glaciers and is very cold! Look up the story "The Lady of the Lake" and it will give you an idea of how cold it is!

What WAS your favorite falls in Olympia NP?

There were many but we didn't hike to them We just chose the convenient ones. I'm sure there are web sites that can better direct you. Since we were staying at Lake Crescent Lodge, Marymere was nearby. Sorry I can't be more helpful.

How long is the trail? Is there a trail entry or parking fee?

The trail is 0.9 mile (1.4k) each way starting near the Storm King Ranger Station on the south side of Crescent Lake just off of Hwy 101. There is no fee for the trail and while there is lots of free parking (and restrooms), this trail is very popular and the lot does fill-up so arriving early is your best bet.
