Our favorite and most beautiful place in all of Washington. The Lake is warmer than swimming in the pacific coast. Its crystal clear waters and nice trails will have you coming back again. The pier for the lodge is open to everyone and we take full advantage jumping off over and over using the ladder and pier. You can rent water toys or bring your own. Hot springs is close by, gaming farm 40-60 minutes away, Port Angeles near by too.

Early in the morning with calm waters looked like glass. This area is very peaceful and amazing place for pictures. Nice overlook area of Rt.101. I highly recommend this place.

Probably the bluest, clearest water I’ve ever seen. It was so beautiful and calming. Even the scenery around the lake is beautiful. It is very peaceful and beautiful. I would 100% recommend. If able, I would recommend going kayaking as well. It is so beautiful and even the pictures I took didn’t do it justice.

Lake Crescent, is hands down one of the most Incredibly Beautiful places you'll Ever See...🏞 Crystal clear water. (However VERY Cold most of the year) Breathtakingly beautiful surroundings. Annnd if you're lucky enough to find Her Majesty, The Moss Tree... You will Never Forget how Incredible she is. 🌅~Magic is here~🌌

One of the most beautiful lakes I have ever been to. The pictures do not serve the justice to how blue the water is. If you're interested in kayaking on the lake, head over to Lake Crescent Lodge and they have first come first serve kayaks (tandems also), paddleboards and canoes for rent (it's $45 for 4 hours and $60 for full day). We kayaked on the lake and it was extremely peaceful and water was very calm!

Beautiful place to walk around and boat. The water is blue and green. We boated in the middle of the water, it was a little bit wavy. The view is spectacular! Lot of people kayak and swim.

This lake is truly astounding. The water is so blue and clear. We took a dip in it and it was so refreshing. Nice polar plunge. Lots of different access points. Not many boats on the water.

Magical Sunset! Incredible views of Lake Crescent on our trip to Mt Stormking. I wouldn't believe the pictures if we hadn't seen it with our own eyes. The sense of peace & serenity in this place is just something else - mirror-like reflection in the perfectly still lake make it an unforgettable experience! Something spiritual, something otherworldly, that only our ancestors could comprehend!! Listen to what this place has to say... its pure magic!!

Beautiful lake and not nearly as cold as everyone warns you about (in the summer). A slight challenge for us on our paddle boards with the wind and boat traffic but worth all the extra effort to see the mountains from the water! Highly recommend launching from the resort!! Lots of free parking and easy beach access.

Beautiful! Recommend going to “Devils Punchbowl”, it was about a 1 mile hike there from the parking lot and you can go through the “Tunnel of Wonders” on the trail. All paved until you hit the outcropping by the lake. If you decide to not do the short hike, all areas are beautiful!

What a stunning lake - Although it is in Olympic National Park, you dont need a pass to access this lake. The lake’s crystal clear waters and nice trails will have you coming back again for sure. By the way, the pier for the lodge is open to everyone. Its also possible to rent water toys or bring your own. Hot springs is close by as well. There are also numerous spots around the like where you can stop and enjoy the view or have a picnic.

You can experience the beautiful forest and nature. It is a light trekking course of less than 2 miles, and even children can go.

Large, picturesque lake which is the closest thing you will find to Banff or the Alps in Washington. We went in early spring so we weren't brave enough for any recreation. However, I would recommend at least walking out on the pier near the Marymere Falls trailhead and combine it with seeing the falls!

Beautiful lake. Limited parking but there's overflow behind cabins. Decent sized gift shop in the lodge and the food is good! I've never stayed overnight, but I always stop by if I'm driving past.

During my recent visit, I was completely captivated by the breathtaking landscapes and crystal-clear waters that make this place an absolute paradise. The lake offers a range of activities that cater to everyone's interests. Whether you're looking to relax by the shoreline, take a scenic hike, or indulge in water sports, Lake Crescent has something for everyone. I highly recommend taking a leisurely stroll along the lakeside trails, where you can immerse yourself in the lush greenery and enjoy stunning views at every turn. For adventure seekers, kayaking or paddleboarding on Lake Crescent is an absolute must. The calm and clear waters provide the perfect playground for exploring hidden coves and admiring the surrounding mountains. If you're feeling adventurous, you can even take a refreshing swim in the pristine waters.

Wonderful place to appreciate and savor nature. They offer lots of recreation like kayaking, canoeing, paddling, and hiking. 🚣🛶⛵🏕️🥾 Makes for a great trip whether it's for a few hours or several days. The lake itself is huge and the deep blue waters are mysterious.. the fog that surrounds the area in the early morning makes it all the more eerie. 🏞️🌫️🌧️. If you love gloomy weather like I do, you will enjoy this place.

What a beautiful lake! Water is crystal clear. My friends and I did paddle boarding and we were stunned by the views, how quiet the lake and surroundings were. Must visit when you are in the Olympic National Park! There are few first come, first serve day use areas around the lake. Restrooms are also available on some if not all!

Beautiful lake with colorful water. You can also kayak here

Beautiful place 🥰🥰
