     This lake is so wonderful. Royal Lake is not the only location nearby, Cedar Lake is a nearby lake, and whitewater paddling is not for everyone but if it's for you then, we recommend Gray Wolf River. This lake is one of the great places here in the Olympic Mountains. Whohoo, so many exciting things in one place! The Olympic Mountains is peerless! The sight of pretty Mount Clark near Royal Lake is great, and do take a hike on the Tubal Cain Mine Trail.
 
   Royal Lake is pretty arid commonly; during the month of December you get the most rain around here; the driest of the months is July. Summer brings highs in the 60's to Royal Lake, and throughout the night it cools down to the 50's. Throughout the winter highs are usually in the 40's while Royal Lake nighttime low temperatures throughout the winter are in the 30's. Everybody loves Deception Basin, and get your heart pumping on the good whitewater of Dosewallips  
               River.
You just can't imagine the amount of outdoors cool things the Olympic Mountains has to offer. A lake nearby is Home Lake, and if you came to camp Deer Park Campground is a brilliant spot to do that. That right there is a load already, but it carries on; Royal Lake has it all. Hiking is a popular thing to do around Royal Lake; Royal Creek Trail is a fine local trail. There's so much to do here at Royal Lake that you need to camp here for a while, Dosewallips Campground is a wonderful place for that. Juan De Fuca Cottages is a nice spot to get some rest; why not take a refreshing hike along the Baldy Trail.
This lake is so wonderful. Dry warm beds await you at Quality Inn & Suites Sequim.

Upper Elk Lake
13 miles away
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....
