About Lake Crescent Lodge

Welcome to Historic Lake Crescent Lodge on the Olympic Peninsula in northwest Washington. This magnificent and charming turn of the century resort was built in 1915 and remains an ideal base camp for enjoying Olympic National Park.

Unwind and explore nature as you step back in time.

Comfortable and spacious guest rooms are nestled among the giant fir and hemlock trees directly on the beautiful Lake Crescent shores. In the evening, enjoy unwinding by the stone fireplace in the antique furnished lobby, or settle into the cozy sun porch and take in a spectacular sunset view over the lake.

For exploring, there are plenty of activities just steps from your front door. Day hikes, bike rides, fishing, and canoeing are highly recommended and great ways to explore the incredible scenery of Olympic National Park.

The trailhead is located right next to the Storm King ranger station adjacent to Lake Crescent right off Hwy 101 just past Port Angeles if heading West. It shares the same trail as, and breaks off left from the Marymere Falls trail (also worth seeing) about a quarter mile in (look for signage). From there, the path wastes no time heading straight up for almost the entire way. The trail itself ...

Camp at Fairholme Campground

Port Angeles, Washington

3.0

The campground is right at the very north end of Lake Crescent. It has bathroom and potable water, and for just $20 a night I think it is well worth it. Each campsite is equipped with a table and firepit (bring firewood). Open between May and October; first come first serve. As for activities, the list is endless. You can kayak, paddleboard, swim, dive, really whatever you feel like. The lake ...

Ancient Groves

Port Angeles, Washington

5.0

0.49 mi / 105 ft gain

Great little hike to explore while in the Sol Duc area. I would strongly recommend doing this hike near sunset as the sun will stream through the trees and light everything up in a beautiful glow. The hike will take you to a cliff edge to walk along and get views of the Sol Duc river below. Very easy little hike that does a full loop from car to cliff edge and back through the woods. I think ...
