Murhut Falls is an easy waterfall hike on Olympic National Forest land near Brinnon, accessed via an official Forest Service trailhead. The trail is free and offers a straightforward waterfall walk without the entrance fees required at nearby Olympic National Park.
The Forest Service maintains this trail actively during warmer months (late spring through early fall) and lists late spring as the official season of use. Winter and early spring conditions can make the trail wet, muddy, and potentially unsafe due to minimal maintenance during those periods. Plan your visit for the summer or shoulder seasons for the best experience.
