| Description: 233 acres of an old logging camp on Sylvia Lake. Giant stumps are all over the park as testament to the old-growth trees which once grew here. Among the interpretive displays, which focus on the area`s logging history, is a giant wooden ball, carved from a single tree. Over five miles of hiking trails wind through the area, including a wheelchair accessible nature trail. Sylvia Lake offers good fishing for bass & trout. Electric boat motors or non motorized boats only in the lake.
The campground has 37 sites, including two primitive, hike- or bike-in tent sites, & a few areas for small groups, including one which has a shelter for up to 50 people.
Location: From Montesano, go about one mile north.
Season: year round, gates close at dusk.
