This 40-feet high roadside waterfall is easily accessible within a few feet of the road, and a delight to view and photograph
South Shore Road of Lake Quinault
This waterfall is located 3.5 miles east of Gatton Creek Campground on the South shore road of Lake Quinault.

Though it may contain flow through most of the year the best time to view is October through May. What a nice fall to photograph in the rainy weather. The relative open terrain around the base provides viewing from different perspectives, and creative photography. Merriman is one of the better known of the Quinault area falls.
I love this scenery!!!!
The Lake Quinault loop drive is one of my favorite ways to spend the day and Merriman Falls is generally the highlight of the drive.
This was absolutely beautiful. We went 2/20/10. Well worth the two hour drive it took us to get there. Can’t wait to check out the other falls with in the Olympic National Forest/Park
Did you get any photographs of Merriman Falls? We would love to see them if you did!
