Nice short trail to falls, be sure to stop at overlook to see the upper pool. Very pretty.

We had to use our printed out map because we lost signal 30 minutes away from the trailhead. The trailhead sign is small and easy to miss and parking is limited but we had the whole place to ourselves. Great little hike to a beautiful waterfall well worth the long drive for us.

This was a very quick down and up to show a great secluded water fall to show some out of town friends on our day trip to the Olympic Peninsula. Trail was very easy to follow. Some potholes on road to trailhead, but nothing a small car can't handle/dodge.

WHAT a gem. I had no idea this little waterfall was hiding out west of Wynoochee, but I'm so happy I found it! After spending a few hours lounging on the uber busy Wynoochee Lakeshore, it was pure bliss to arrive at this secluded waterfall back in the trees.

The road down to the falls has a fair number of pot holes, but they are definitely avoidable and can be managed by any low-clearance vehicle. Just be sure to take it slow!

The actual hike down to the falls takes a whopping 5 or 10 minutes (meaning this would be a great place for kiddos or old dogs who aren't too keen on long walks). Be sure to detour over to the viewpoints on your way down to get some sweet photo-worthy views of the water.

If you're feeling brave and/or insane, this would be a really ideal swimming hole. The water is frigid cold, but if you time it right, you'll have a decent patch of sunlight to lounge in.

We walked in to Spoon Creek Falls after hiking in to Maidenhair Falls. They're not too far of a drive from each other. The trail head is clearly marked with a brown aluminum sign. You can hear the falls as soon as you get out of your car. There was a small tree across the road just before the bridge. My truck didn't have any trouble getting over it but a small car would. If necessary, you could park there and walk the rest of the way - maybe 1/2 mile.
