How many waterfalls are there in the area? Also, how far are they from the ferry terminal?
There many more waterfalls on the Peninsula than are highlighted in the Waterfall Trail. How many? I couldn’t say since there are lots of unnamed ones, some are only seasonal, many are in the back country. But because of the land and preciptation, we have an abundance. I’m not sure what ferry terminal? Port Angeles? The nearest one to that terminal is Madison Falls – about 20 drive from the ferry. If you are coming to the peninsula through Port Townsend, the nearest falls would be Ludlow Falls – about 30 minutes. Hope that helps! Give us a call at 360-452-8552 if you’d like more detailed info! Have a safe trip.

There are so many special spots in the Olympic National Park. What about Ruby Beach? Or Cape Flattery? Oh, on the Waterfall Trail, the Hood Canal and the Southern area have some spectacular falls!

So glad you enjoyed Marymere Falls. It’s definitely one of our favorites. And, you are right about access. It could be one of our favorites partly because it’s so close to Port Angeles, Lake Crescent views are spectacular and the trail is always maintained and provides a deep touch to the old forest.
