There is a network of interconnected trails on the south shore of Lake Quinault through the Quinault Forest. Most of Lake Quinault’s southern shore is surrounded by Quinault National Forest. Olympic National Park lies along the north shore and Olympic National Forest lies along most of the south shore. There are two main roads in the valley. The North Shore Road and the South Shore Road run along the two main sides of the lake and the river. Lake Quinault is a natural lake that lies at the end of the Quinault Valley. You can still see the highlights on this drive, but can’t do it as a loop at the moment. This means that the loop drive around Lake Quinault is impassable. *** NOTE: In April 2023, the bridge area spanning Quinault River at milepost 14.5 on North Shore Road was closed due to storm damage.

Stops include highlights of the loop drive such as the world’s largest spruce tree, Maple Glade and Kestner Homestead.īOOK A FULL-DAY PRIVATE TOUR FROM SEATTLE TO LAKE QUINAULT & THE QUINAULT RAINFOREST While there is no tour specifically for the entire loop drive, if you prefer to have someone drive for you and want an expert guide to take you, there is a private full day tour from Seattle to the Quinault Valley. > Best Waterfalls in Olympic National Park
