    The beauty of Elk Lake is reason enough to stop by. Elk Lake is a beautiful lake in the Olympic Mountains. This is no spot for people who don’t like to enjoy themselves. And that's not everything there is to do here in the Olympic Mountains. A tremendous site like Glacier Meadows here at Elk Lake is too fine to miss, and if you came for an overnight stay Indian Valley Motel and RV Park is a good place to camp.
That right there is plenty already, but it
 
   goes on; Elk Lake has it all. Why not camp at Altair Campgrounds if you're here at Elk Lake, and unsurprisingly, this is a delightful neighborhood for folks who like lakes, Heart Lake is a lake in close proximity. Glacier Creek is a stream that you may stumble upon during your stay, and if you're stopping by from Port Angeles, you won't be the only one. This lake is so wonderful. Go for a hike on the Soleduck Trail, and a delightful spot for whitewater paddling  
               is Elwha River.
This lake is so wonderful. Olympic National Park is one of the destinations in the neighborhood of Elk Lake that are pleasant to go to, and a great nearby hotel is Lake Quinault Lodge.
