Washington Points of Interest
Crater Lake
Crater Lake lies on a geological fault on the west side of Sullivan Mountain. This is one of the few alpine lakes on the Colville National Forest. Because this lake lies in the Salmo Priest wilderness, there are no trails to the lake. It can be accessed by hiking cross country from the Sullivan Mountain summit or from the Red Bluff Trailhead. Both routes are over very step rough terrain. There is dispersed camping available at the south end of the lake.
Campground Restrictions
Washington state fishing license required. See Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife at http://wdfw.wa.gov/ for more information. Wilderness use restrictions apply. Certified weed-free hay or certified weed-free hay pellets are required on National Forest lands (processed grains are okay). Motorized or mechanical equipment, including chainsaw, bike, motorcycle, hang glider or cart use prohibited in all wilderness areas. Food and wildlife attractants must be properly stored at all times.
