    The trail to the falls through lush forest is a destination in itself. There was snow on the ground making it even more magical.
    I rate this as medium overall for the climb up to falls. There are a couple of sections on the climb with no handrail. Could be difficult for some people. However, the short walk through the woods up to the bridges is worth the time.

    A great place to go at low tide. There are tide pools for the kids and wonderful views in all directions. The people that frequent the area are very nice and friendly. There are even some surfers there for a low break.

    What really frosts me is the area adjacent to it. It is a mile-long pristine beach that is postcard perfect: clean gentle slope to the water with little driftwood. But it is Private! I imagine a pile of money went under the table to secure that. You can pay to visit.

    We were here in the pseudo off season of late September, and our first stop here was a quick drive from our hotel in Port Angeles in the early morning, and even then it was very busy. After hitting the Hurricane Ridge hiking areas we stopped again around mid -day, and found parking to be at a premium, so be prepared. It is a very nice visitor center with very helpful staff and rangers. The park into movie is quite good.

    I can only imagine the level of stupid that must take place at the base of the falls during peak season. The trail is very short and easy, and the falls are beautiful, but even in mid September the crowds were bad enough, and no one seemed content to take photos from the trail, they scrambled down a small slope and had to do their selfies at the base of the falls. Complete turn off.

    If you're looking for a place to rival a big aquarium like the oregon coast aquarium, this is not it. BUT it is a little hidden gem. The people working there are very knowledgeable and it was good to see local sea life in a way that was more intimate than at larger aquariums. Its a nice place to stop, and we definitely look forward to going again.

    Stopped by after a long bike ride and dropping our bikes off at Elevate Outdoors next door. Lady working there was so friendly and fun! I felt like she was my best friend by the time we left. Rose was delicious and I bought some yummy cheese, too! Wanted to send some wine home, but we already have plenty! Next time!

    This place combines, the lumber industry, fishing, views of the city and lots of driftwood without getting out of the car. If the tide is low, walking along the beach is really nice.

    This is a nice little walk going through old growth trees and a nice meadow. There are signs along the trail describing the trees and other features. One of our favorite walks.

    One of our favorite trails - the first part is flat and well maintained so accessible to all. The trail parallels Lake Crescent with the amazing clear blue water. There is a cutoff to Devils Punchbowl though trail is more difficult

    Clean and paved accessible to everyone. This location has lots to visit, unfortunately was closed when we got there at 5 o’clock. Little shops, lots of restaurants and interpretive centers. We sat and watched the ferry’s come in and out of the harbor. There Is the discovery Trail that whines through here as well and I heard goes all the way to Port Townsend.

    This is a delight. The combination of art and nature on the paths is just lovely. The day I was there kids were doing a summer camp in the courtyard. I liked that environment for kids to learn and create. The paths have so many hidden delights of art. It was an exciting way to experience the solitude of nature
