     This lake is one of the great places here in the Olympic Mountains. All the water falling down from the sky makes Happy Lake a wet spot; throughout December this area sees the most rain while July is regularly the driest month. The slopes of Hurricane Ridge Ski Lodge are so inviting noone can resist; going for a hike along the Happy Lake Ridge Trail will let you absorb the natural beauty of this neighborhood.
This lake is so wonderful. Looking for something
 
   close to Happy Lake? Lake Sutherland is in the neighborhood, and paddling on Elwha River is so much fun. All the outdoors enjoyable things next to Happy Lake will keep you coming back again and again. You're probably into lakes, Mud Lake is one of those nearby; you're sure to run into some nice folks from Port Angeles here. After a long day outdoors Red Lion Hotel Port Angeles is a pleasant location to spend a night or two.

               bored here in the Olympic Mountains. On a wonderful day at Happy Lake you can take a hike along the Soleduck Trail, and some nearby water includes Crystal Creek.

This lake is so wonderful. While you're here at Happy Lake you can take a hike along the Boulder Lake Trail, and a wonderful close by hotel is Quality Inn Uptown. So many fun things to do in the Olympic Mountains, not enough time. Camping at Altair Campgrounds is always a good experience, and drift down the rapids of Elwha River in a kayak.
