Quinault Area

The Quinault area of the Olympic National Forest spans the inland southwest portion of the Olympic Peninsula north of Grays Harbor, Washington.

It is veiled by a canopy of ancient Sitka spruce, Douglas fir, western red cedar, and western hemlocks that showcase the ancient temperate rainforest of the Olympic Peninsula. Towering giant trees cloak the fern and moss laden forest floor in an ecosystem that contains more biomass per acre than any other forest type. 

Home to the historic Lake Quinault Lodge, various campgrounds, and a vast network of trails spanning Quinault National Recreational Trail System, Colonel Bob Wilderness and the West Fork Humptulips River, the Quinault area provides a wide array of recreation opportunities for all. 

Lake Quinault is owned and managed by the Quinault Indian Nation.  Boating and fishing regulations can be found on the Quinault Indian Nation website.
