Wynoochee Lake

Wynoochee Lakeshore Trail is a 13 or 16.5 mile loop depending on whether you decide to ford the river or follow the trail the extra 2 miles each way to the bridge. There's lots of smooth single track here reminicent of the Lewis River Trail but also lots of ups and downs, excessive brush, and washouts. It's pretty much in the middle of nowhere and should be considered a real adventure trail. That said, there is a campground and swimming beach at the lake and logging roads close by to most of the trail. Thing is, people boat and swim here but don't hike more than the first few miles of the trail in each direction from the campground.
