Martin Park Lakes

Martins Park is located above the Low Divide between the Elwha and North Fork Quinault Valleys. It is a beautiful area that is protected (somewhat) by the 20 mile or more distance from the trailhead. Above is the view looking south showing Mt Christie and the access trail into the area. Below is another of the lakes (they are collectively called Martins Lakes). Late in the summer, the lakes can provide a very refreshing swimming experience … at least after the water has warmed up some after the snow has melted.
