About This Waterfall

Lower Boulder Creek Falls is a scenic, though rather lack-luster waterfall along the South Fork of Boulder Creek near Olympic Hot Springs in Olympic National Park. The falls drop a total of about 35 feet, maybe more (its been a good 10 years since I've visited), with drops of about 20, 5 and 10 feet. The pool below the initial plunge should serve as a decent swimming hole - though those wanting to take a dip may find more amenable conditions at the Hot Springs back down the trail.
