Mild, easy. Bring water shoes to cross the pool to get to the waterfall. Absolutely beautiful. Will come back.

This is a really lovely bang for very short buck. The hike to the falls was not muddy even through the drizzle and I think the pool must have been lower than the previous trip report, because I had no trouble hopping across various rocks to get at some nice views of the falls. TH is not marked except for an upright log, but it's just past the bridge over the West Fork Satsop River. I combined it with some other hikes in the area and I was the only one there.

Trail head is about 3.5 miles in on 23. When you reach the fork with Satsop Lakes TH vs Spider Lake continue on towards the latter. The hike down is short and sweet. As others have noted be ready to get your feet wet. On a warmer day, and had I realized the depth of the pool (5 feet?), I would have gotten fully in so I could move around the bend. As it was I only went in thigh deep (I’m 5’4) and couldn’t get close to going around. Great spot! Would be lovely to spend the day. Plenty of spots to lounge in the shallows.

Bagged another waterfall on the Olympic Waterfalls tour. A short, steep trail leads to what I believe is the prettiest falls I've seen so far on the tour.

The unsigned trailhead can be found about 100 yards on the right, after crossing the bridge over the West Fork Satsop River on NF-23. About 70 yards down the trail there are a couple of short spur trails; the second one gives a decent view of the top of the falls if you don't want to descend all the way to the creek.

When you reach the creek, walk upstream along it to the pool, to get the best view of this magnificent falls dropping down from about 200 feet above. You may get your feet wet. :-)

This was a fun little hike.  Not long, and fairly easy, but steep in parts. The gravel road FS 23 to the trail head is good for all vehicles, but has a lot of deep pot holes.  Other than that, getting to the trail head is easy.  I arrived around 10:00 a.m. and was the only vehicle parked. The trail is in fairly good condition and starts by traveling through old-growth forest. A short way in there is a view of the falls from the upper overlook (be careful, there is a split rail fence at the cliff, but I was temped walk around and try and get a better view. It's a big drop).  The trail continues to another overlook down to the West Fork Satsop River, which looks impressive from here. Continue on the trail to Spoon Creek and the falls, but to get a good view of the falls you will have to wade into the water, which I did to get the photos I wanted. This time of year, the falls and creek were full. As falls go, this one is really a pretty 90 foot waterfall, which drops into the steep gorge of Spoon Creek just above to confluence of the West Fork Satsop River.  

The wildflowers are beginning to bloom, I saw a few trilliums, and the shrubs were starting to bud. In the creek the American Dippers were active and there were several Varied Thrush active in the trees.  

Like I said, a fun little hike and kind of a hidden gem. I was the only person there and didn't see anyone else on the trail.  =efh=
