Summer Time at Lochaerie
Clear blue skies, crystal green water - the weather is great at Lake Quinault! The mornings on the lake are usually still and perfect for a canoe ride to look for otters, king fishers, or nesting eagles. The afternoon breeze comes in from the west and helps keep everything cool and comfortable.
Steve has the hummingbirds lining up at the feeders. The National Park crews continue to clear and improve trails damaged from the harsh winter. Park rangers are leading summer tours to the big cedar and along the Maple Glade Trail. Check out the Quinault Historical Museum on the south shore of the lake. The museum gives a fascinating glimpse into the history of the valley. It’s fun to watch the perch and smelt fishermen on the ocean beaches north of Kalaloch.
The mouth of the upper Quinault River once again has migrated over the winter in our direction, so canoeing to and hiking along the river is once again a new experience.
We finally have dial-up email at Lochaerie! Check your calendar, pick your favorite cabin, and give Steve a call or email him at: 638northshore@reachone.com. We look forward to seeing you soon!
