Dosewallips River Road
Olympic Peninsula
As of July 27, 2026, the Dosewallips River Road is reported to be in good condition with few potholes or obstructions. Parking at the trailhead is generally available, though it can be busy. The trail itself is dry and well-maintained.
Recent reports from May and June indicate the lower trail near the river is easy to navigate due to low water levels, with only minor rocky sections. The upper detour is also dry and involves a steeper climb. By July 23rd, trail work had further improved conditions from the waterfall to the campground, with no significant obstacles noted. Mosquitoes were reported as bothersome in the evenings in late May.
