     Life's too short to enjoy all the amusing things in close proximity to Spider Lake. You're in all probability interested in lakes, Pine Lake is one of those nearby, and there are some fine whitewater spots on Baker Creek. You just can't envision the amount of outdoors exciting things the Olympic Mountains has to offer. Spider Lake is a rather wet place commonly with a good deal of precipitation; all through December this area sees the most rain; the driest  
   month of the year is July.
Whohoo, so many fun things in one place! The Olympic Mountains is unbeatable! Spider Lake is good enough to spend more than a day at, Wynoochee Falls Campground is a good local campground, and Microtel Inn and Suites-Elma is a wonderful site to get some rest. This lake is so wonderful. Have a brilliant hiking adventure along the Skyline Trail, and after a long day outdoors Super 8 Shelton is a good spot to spend a night or two.
 
               A great location to camp here at Spider Lake is Brown Creek Campground, and if you come at the right time of year, Satsop River - Middle Fork offers some glorious whitewater.
Spider Lake is one of the lakes here in the Olympic Mountains. The warmest time of the year brings highs in the 70's to Spider Lake, and all through summer nights temperatures are in the 40's. The wintertime brings highs down to the 40's with winter lows in the 30's overnight here at Spider Lake. Lakes are brilliant; Dry Bed Lakes is a lake that's close to Spider Lake; if you're here, you could take a look at Walter Creek.

Pine Lake
There is nothing to see at Pine Lake and you have to hike a long ways to reach it....

Wynoochee Falls Campground
Nothing is left except overgrown roads and a couple of holes where there used to be an outhouse.

The falls are picturesque and were featured in a 1961 movie ''Ring of Fire''

Yes the Elwha River trail is only 18 miles away but that is by trail straight through the heart of the Olympic Mtns. And park.
...
Wynoochee Falls campground has been closed and the campground sign, firepits, restroom and tables removed. You?ll have to drive about 15 miles of gravel road to get here. There is a rock pedestal with a missing sign along the Wynoochee road 4 miles NE of the lake near the end of the road. This marks the parking area and access trail down to the falls. The ? mile trail is interrupted with large ditches to discourage access and camping. The waterfall is only about 100 feet high, (maybe less) but very picturesque, with a large clear basin at its base and an outlet scoured through granite rocks....

Nice. Good car-camping family place. (…)...As of August 2008, Wynoochee Valley Road (NFD 22) is closed for 13 miles starting at the intersection with Cougar-Smith north to Camp Grisdale every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. We got stuck at the intersection for 3? hours on Thursday, August 7, as the road didn't open until 6:30 p.m. Rumor is that the paving work and road closures will continue for the next two years....WHEN YOU TAKE THE HIKE AROUND THE LAKE BE SURE YOU TAKE WATER AND FOOD. IT'S A BEAUTIFUL, BUT 12 MILES AND 6 HRS. TO COMPLETE. ENJOY !!!...
