    Why not stop by Blue Lake if you're passing through these parts. Don't you try to stop me, cause I'm havin' a great time here at Blue Lake. If you need a place to stay Quality Inn Uptown is a pleasant choice. You just ought to love the Olympic Mountains. Whitewater paddling is not for everybody but if it's for you then we recommend Lyre River, and Log Cabin Resort and Trailer is a wonderful campground nearby. There are other sites here than Blue Lake, for example  
   Mud Lake, and if you're here you can take a hike along the Soleduck Trail.
This lake is so wonderful. A wonderful view of pretty Mount Appleton is available from Blue Lake, and hiking along the Boulder Lake Trail is magnificent fun. These mountains rock, just look at all the exciting things to do in the Olympic Mountains. Have a brilliant hiking adventure along the Happy Lake Ridge Trail, and dry warm beds await you at Sol Duc Hot Springs Resort. This lake
 
               is so wonderful. Bridge Creek is a fine local stream, and a visit to Olympic National Park is recommended.
You'll wish for more hours in a day to enjoy all the fun things at Blue Lake. Not far from Blue Lake, you'll stumble on Three Horse Lake which is a charming lake, and Blue Lake is a splendid place to visit for more than one day, Indian Valley Motel and RV Park is a splendid place to camp nearby.
