Was able to make it to the yellow gate no problem and walk in to the trailhead. The sign marking the trailhead is completely broken, but that part of trail leads to a slide and fallen trees. You'll want to go straight down the road to a turn off to the right. There's a triangle marker to help you find where the trail starts. There's tons of trees across the trail but manageable, we even made it with elderly dogs (who had to be lifted up and over). There is a lot of snow on the ground still like 80% of the trail, so proper shoes are needed. Also the railing at the far end of the bridge is broken.

Thought I should let others know about the road to the game gate even though I didn’t make it to the trailhead. The plowing stopped about halfway up the lake due to a large number of trees across the road. The snow was 12”-15” deep; not crusty enough to walk on top but too heavy to plow through. I gave up after a mile of post holeing.

There is a seasonal road closure just before the left turn a bridge crossing. We just parked at the gate and walked but decided not to check out wynooche falls since it would add 4 miles to that one. 

As other trip reports mentioned, the trail sign is broken and back a bit from the road but we were able to spot it. The trail was lovely and had a nice dusting of snow. A bit muddy in places but not too bad. The falls looked great. Some of the blow down trees and debris had shifted compared to previous trip report pictures and the remaining tree looked like a water slide! 

We didn’t find so much of a “trailhead” here, as much as a place to park (maybe enough for a couple cars). The sign mentioned in the directions isn’t much of that anymore, mostly just a post. There were also a lot of people dispersed camping off the road this trail was on so we felt a little awkward searching for an unsigned trail. 

The trail itself was easy. Not very wide in most places. The trail takes you to a bridge to view the falls. There’s some big trees that have fallen on top of the waterfall - it doesn’t quite look like the cover image anymore. Altogether an easy hike.

Surprising amount of traffic on Wynoochee Rd, but only 3 cars at the gate that marks the end of the road until April 30.

If you ignore Google Maps, and leave Hwy 12 at Montesano rather than Brady, the entire road is paved, except for 6 miles of immaculate gravel road at the end.

Found the trail after crossing the bridge on foot, behind some campsites. Short and nice trail to the falls. Continued to a road intersection, where the continuing trail had been marked "do not use". We heeded the advice, and continued on the road until reaching the short trail down to the river ford. Checked out the ford (at the downstream end of the large gravel bar), but failed to reach a consensus on whether the ford was less than knee-deep and trivial, or waist-deep, so we headed back out the way we came...

Apart from the "do not use" trail, the only obstacles were several blowdowns on the first mile of the trail, incl two large ones (that look like they have been there for a while).

Flora: Lots of trillium, wood sorrel and bleedinghearts in bloom. Mossy forest, with quite a few giant hemlocks and Douglas Firs.

Didn't encounter anyone on the trail.
