Beaver Creek splits into segmented plunges at Beaver Falls, a 25-foot waterfall in Clallam County, Washington, reached by an informal path off State Route 113.
The falls
The creek spreads across a ledge roughly 70 feet wide. In the rainy season, flow can cover most of the ledge; in the dry season it narrows to two or three channels. The creek is lake-fed, with winter its best flow, running an estimated 40 cubic feet per second for about seven months of the year and about 15 for the other five.
Getting there
From US 101 at Sappho, take State Route 113 north; just over two miles later, a large pullout appears right after the highway crosses Beaver Creek. An informal path follows the guardrail downhill to the falls, and the final stretch is steep enough that children may need a hand.
When to go
Winter brings the strongest flow. In the lower water of other seasons, the creek separates into distinct channels across the ledge.
On site
Informal viewpoints reach the pool and the ledge. Visitors swim in the pools below, though whether that is officially sanctioned, and whether there is a formal trail, land manager or accident record, is not documented.
