Beaver Falls

Beaver Falls drops 25 feet over a broad bedrock ledge along Beaver Creek, creating multiple channels that widen into a 70-foot cascade during heavy rainfall periods in the Olympic Peninsula region.

The waterfall received its official designation as Beaver Falls and sits at 490 feet elevation, accessible via a marked trail descending from a highway pullout near the creek system.

The waterfall remains largely undeveloped and preserves its wilderness character as part of Olympic National Forest, managed by the USDA Forest Service without commercial infrastructure or formal facilities.

Visitors can reach the falls through a short hike from Highway 101 near Sappho, though the final rocky descent requires caution and may need assistance for shorter individuals.

The waterfall transforms dramatically with seasons, swelling from distinct channels during dry periods to a wide sheet of water during rainy seasons when Beaver Creek reaches peak flow.
