Lake Quinault Lodge

Lake Quinault, located on Route 101 at the southwest corner of Olympic National Park, is a beautiful lake that offers a full selection of watersports. While there are many lakes in and around Seattle, Lake Quinault is most expensive because of its location within an old-growth forest. In fact, if I recall correctly, not far from Lake Quinault Lodge is an entrance to a small rainforest that can be explored at will.
Staying at the Lodge can set you back aplenty, but if you can afford it, try to get a lakefront room in the historic lodge itself. There is a newer wing with nice rooms, but for atmosphere, you can''t beat the lodge itself. The restaurant at the lodge faces a gorgeous lake surrounded by lush cedar forests. The seafood here is excellent, if a bit pricey. Near the lodge, and therefore taking advantage of the same gorgeous view, is a RV park, as well as campgrounds, both of which are cheaper options than staying at the lodge.
