Merry Falls is a split waterfall, about 12 feet tall at the upper tier with a lower series of cascades that drop another 20 feet. From the High Falls parking area in DuPont State Forest, drive 1½ miles south to Cascade Lake Road and turn right. It will soon become a gravel road. Merry Falls is on the left about two miles down the unpaved portion. There is no parking area or sign, but if you pass under the power lines, you have gone too far. Find the exact location by opening your car window and listening for cascading water. Park on the side of the road and step down the short but very steep descent to the falls. Be careful, the slope and moss-covered rocks along the creek can be very slippery! It’s on private property, so don’t explore farther.
