Crescent Lake & Cape Flattery


The day promised to be sunny and warmer than what we have been experiencing so we decided to head to the farthest northwest point of the Olympic Peninsula. First stop was to view Lake Crescent. A very beautiful, large lake in the Olympic National Park. The depth of this lake has been measured at 624 feet and the bottom of the lake is 100 feet below sea-level. Though personal watercraft have been banned on the lake since 1997, the lake offers an easily accessible boat ramp for motorboats for water skiers, fishermen and sailors. Kayaks, row boats and canoes are an environmentally friendly alternative which greatly enhances the serenity of this beautiful Lake Crescent setting!
