This scene of Marymere Falls was photographed by Alfred G. Simmer, probably by about the 1920s. The 90-foot falls is on Falls Creek, a tributary to Barnes Creek which flows into Lake Crescent at Barnes Point. From about 1906 to 1914 the Marymere Hotel was located less than a mile north of Marymere Falls. Both the falls and the hotel were named in part after Mary Barnes, a member of the Barnes family which homesteaded the large flat Barnes Point delta at the mouth of Barnes Creek. A popular hiking trail now leads for about one mile from the Storm King Ranger Station to Marymere Falls. Also, the approximately half-mile long Lodge trail follows along Barnes Creek from Lake Crescent Lodge and connects to about the halfway point along the Marymere Falls trail. |
