    In Washington there are many beautiful lakes, Don Lake is one of them. This lake is located in the wonderful Olympic Mountains. The warmest time of the year brings highs in the 70's to Don Lake, and the nighttime is a little cooler of course, usually in the 50's. For the period of the winter highs are in the 40's, and winter nights come with lows in the 30's to Don Lake. This lake is so wonderful.
Don Lake is not the only spot nearby, Lone Duck Pond is a
 
   nearby lake; you should stop by Dewatto Bay when you're here. Man, is there a heap of cool stuff to do in the Olympic Mountains. Jefferson Creek is a tremendous whitewater spot next to Don Lake, and some close by water includes Dewatto River. This lake is so wonderful. Super 8 Motel - Shelton is a great site to get some rest, and you can have a perfect hiking adventure along the Mount Jupiter Trail.
You clearly should fancy the Olympic Mountains. If you need
 
               a site to stay Alderbrook Resort And Spa is a pleasant choice; Don Lake is a good location to visit for more than one day, Summertide Resort is a good location to camp nearby. Don Lake is a wet place that gets a great deal of rain; most of the rain falls during December, and the driest of the months is July. You'll meet a lot of people from Shelton here; you can stay the night at Robin Hood Cottages.
Don't you try to stop me, cause I'm havin' a fine time here at Don Lake. A wonderful place for whitewater paddling in the neighborhood of Don Lake is Hamma Hamma River; if you've had enough of Don Lake, U Lake is nearby.

Upper Elk Lake
It's been about 6yrs. since I was last at upper Elk Lake,It was my most favorite place to camp. If you were lucky, and got the only camp site on the lake,the lake was yours. The water was so crystal clear, you could almost see the bottom. The fishing was't bad either. There are plenty of trails and creeks to explore.Including Jefferson creek, which will lead you to lower Elk Lake. My children loved this spot as much as I. There was also a rope swing on the other side of the lake.It was heaven. My youngest daughter traveled back to the lake this summer (2008). She says the lake is destroyed, with water plants and logs,she says the water is no longer clear. This makes me sad, I may just have to plan a trip to see for myself....

Mason Lake
This is mainly a private lake for people who have houses on it. There is a boat launch which is very small and to the point. :) There is also a park for employees of a certain company which I forget the name of now. This lake is very clean and refreshing. It is great for boats and inter tubing and swimming all the same :)  Love this Lake!!...THERE IS A PUBLIC AREA AT THIS PARK,BOATING SWIM AND PICNIC AREA...
