Very popular hike right above Lake Crescent!
The primary way to reach the summit of Mount Storm King is via the Mount Storm King Trail. The trailhead is located on the north side of Highway 101, opposite the Lake Crescent Lodge. The trail is known for being steep, challenging, and occasionally exposed, requiring hikers to use ropes and cables in some sections.
The reward for those who make it to the summit is the spectacular view overlooking Lake Crescent and the surrounding mountains. On a clear day, hikers can see the deep blue waters of the lake, with the Olympic Mountains in the background. If you are looking for a challenge, here you go! You won't regret it!

Great little beach to visit!
The recreation area features a sandy beach known as Salt Creek Beach, where visitors can enjoy beachcombing, picnicking, and relaxing by the water. The beach area is also popular for tide-pooling, as low tides reveal a variety of marine life in the tidepools.
