Wynoochee Falls
Wynoochee Falls will entice you to spend more time than you’d expect on a half-mile round-trip hike. The falls are pretty, and the pool at the bottom is nice for wading. There is a gravel bar that is perfect for picnics, and there are some good rock scrambling options.
getting there
Take the Devonshire Road exit off of Hwy 12 just west of Montesano. Cross Devonshire Road, then cross Pioneer Ave and continue on Wynoochee Valley Road/FR 22, following signs to Wynoochee Lake. If you have an older Gazetteer Atlas or are using Bing, the road is labelled Wynoochee Rd.
After about 35 miles pass the turnoff for Coho campground on the left and stay straight on a forest road along the east side of Wynoochee Lake. Most sources call this FR-2270, but Google calls this FR-2312. Reset your trip odometer at this turnoff.
Approximately 8 miles past the turnoff for Coho campground, find a small parking area on the left. There was once a big sign here, but all that remains is the base.
