Dosewallips River
This river is only very rough in the winter/spring time, so unless you're very good don't ride the rapids in the winter/spring. The rest of the year it's about like the flaming geyser river with rapids lots of shallow rocks....

Dosewallips Campground
The doeswallip river road is washed out approx. 3 mi from the campground. You must park and walk to the campground/trailhead. These washouts occurred during 2001, and continued to get worse....

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....
