Olympic National Park is a boating paradise. You won’t want to miss the sight of the crystalline blue waters of Lake Crescent – a glacially carved lake tucked into the northern foothills of the park. Formed by a landslide thousands of years ago, this spectacular lake can now be explored via rented rowboats, the perfect way to discover beaches and fishing holes inaccessible by foot.
