    Jarrell Cove State Park is situated in a cove on Harstine Island. It feels very secluded, both the water and the island setting. There are multiple docks for large boats to lock up and bring their tents to the state park. It is the first state park of this type that I have been to. Most other parks of this type are marine access only, where you generally need a large boat to access, otherwise, maybe reach it with a good pair of binoculars. Walking around the park made me realize how the water passageways can be used as simply another route to move around the Puget Sound. There were fishing opportunities on both of the large docks. One of the docks was in a sheltered bay in what appeared to be shallow water while the other dock was deeper with water moving with the tides. Most of the fishermen were on this dock. There were generally kids but one of them caught a shark, most likely a spiny dogfish shark. I would've thrown it back in, but they ended up throwing it into a bucket to bring back to the campground.

    View from the Park marina!

    Family friendly State Park, very tranquil and peaceful, another wonderful park to restore your well-being. The park was very clean, easy to navigate trails for the family to enjoy the forest and take in the cove views. We highly recommend visiting this park or even do a little overnight camping!

    I wish there was a nice seafood restaurant down there but it is beautiful regardless. Nice place for a picnic.

    My parents have a house on Harstine Island and we've been exploring the forest over here for years.

A few minutes drive off of 101 in Brinnon, WA you'll find Rocky Brook Falls. Across the street are a few parking spots, but beware that side is private property and there are a bunch of no trespassing signs. The entrance to the trail was not obvious to me. So I took some photos showing the path. But it's a short walk to the falls, which by the way, was a lot larger than I thought it would be! You will have to climb over some boulders to access the pool at the base of the falls, so just be aware of that. I came on a summer weekday, so there was only another couple with their dog there. You practically had the place to yourself! It has been one of the dryer summers, so I imagine after a good rainfall, the falls would be roaring and serene. Also note, there are no bathroom facilities and no cell service in the immediate area.

    What an easy hike to an unpopulated waterfall with wading, swimming, and jumping options. I don't…read morethink it gets better than this for a hidden treasure. I highly recommend. Bring some Keens or other water shoes as you have to scrabble over some larger boulders at the edge of the pool - but to keep it real, I wore flip flops. There is a dirt parking lot on left side . Cross over the road and hike the trail on the right side.

The hike to the falls is less than a mile from the trailhead with a 200ft elevation gain. Bringing your whole family to appreciate its beauty shouldn't be much of an issue. I'm almost hesitant to write this review based on some of the disrespect I've seen for the nature in surrounding areas ie; Trash left behind by visitors and people engraving their Initials and other things on the trees/earth. Im hoping my review brings people to want to visit this great spot that our national parks/Forests have to offer!

Today I didn't get my feet wet but previously we went during rainy times and we had to cross path in water to reach the waterfall. Kinda hard to find since not a lot of signs but my phone navigation got me there. Not much or no cell service. So if needed print it out. Just past the entrance to the waterfall is a fire pit area for possible day camp. Today someone had a tent in this location.Beautiful waterfall with such clear water. Very peaceful and quite.
