are some tremendous whitewater spots on Skokomish River - South Fork.
Just can't get enough of the Olympic Mountains. If you need a place to stay Super 8 Motel - Shelton is a good choice, and whitewater paddling is not for everybody
but if it's for you then, we recommend Vance Creek. A quick trip to Dalby Creek near West Lake is a splendid idea, and Alderbrook Resort And Spa is a magnificent location to get some rest. Any time is a magnificent time at West Lake
if you like the outdoors. You'll need more than a day to discover everything West Lake has to offer, you can camp at Lake Cushman Resort; an afternoon playing golf at Lake Cushman Golf Course is always a diversion.
The high level
of rain makes West Lake a rather wet place; December is when you get the most rain here, and the driest month is July.

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.... |

Wynoochee Falls Campground
| 17 miles away
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.... |
