Waterfalls

Rocky Brook Falls
Easy level walk (about 200 yards) rising to a spectacular 229 foot tall waterfall. A small hydrologic project was installed at the falls in 1986 which supplies water for Brinnon. The hike starts at 3000 Dosewallips Road in Brinnon.

Murhut Falls
The trail was once a logging road. In spring huge native rhododendrons and tiny umbrella ferns bloom along the shady trail making this an ideal hike on hot summer days.
