Olympic Park Lodging at Lake Quinault Lodge is a classic Parkitecture style lodge resting on the shores of the gorgeous Lake Quinault bordering the Quinault Rainforest in Olympic National Park. The Lake Quinault Lodge is the recommended lodging destination while exploring the southern areas of Olympic National Park. Olympic National Park is surprisingly large and best experienced by basing your travels out of one region at a time. This southern area of Olympic National Park is like a complete park on it's own. Head out and explore this enchanted region right from the Lake Quinault Lodge.
The grounds of the Lake Quinault Lodge are lush and beautifully manicured yet just steps from there, the temperate rainforest wilderness begins. Trails just beyond the Lake Quinault Lodge lead to some of the oldest temperate rainforest groves on earth. From the lodge, head east to the Quinault River and both the East Fork and the North Fork of the Quinault River offer river trails with sizable hikes through this succulent rainforest. Smaller loops and hikes are also nearby. The Quinault Rain Forest Ranger Station is a great starting point for the Quinault trails. These trails can be short explorations or they are direct ways to access the wilderness areas of the southern region of the park.
