  • We stayed in Log Cabin. The cabin ground has very beautiful view of the lake. The lake is deep, not crowded.

  • Absolutely beautiful part of Olympic National Park with a great lodge on site! The best store in the park for gifts and mementos. The bar was open throughout the day & we were able to grab a drink...

  • What a stunning lake. Especially when the skies are clear and the wind is calm. Many places to stop and view the lake. Recommend

  • Beautiful place to walk around and boat. The water is blue and green. We boated in the middle of the water, it was a little bit wavy. The view is spectacular! Lot of people kayak and swim.
  • Early in the morning with calm waters looked like glass. This area is very peaceful and amazing place for pictures. Nice overlook area of Rt.101. I highly recommend this place.
  • Probably the bluest, clearest water I’ve ever seen. It was so beautiful and calming. Even the scenery around the lake is beautiful. It is very peaceful and beautiful. I would 100% recommend. If able, I would recommend going kayaking as well. It is so beautiful and even the pictures I took didn’t do it justice.
  • Beautiful lake with colorful water. You can also kayak here
  • Beautiful lake and not nearly as cold as everyone warns you about (in the summer). A slight challenge for us on our paddle boards with the wind and boat traffic but worth all the extra effort to see the mountains from the water! Highly recommend launching from the resort!! Lots of free parking and easy beach access.
