We launched at Skokomish Park, run by the Skokomish Nation. $10. This is in the afternoon when we returned. Nobody was there in the morning. No dock at this launch.

Poked into a couple of little bays.

The water had that "snow melt" sort of look.

The NE side of the lake has a road that goes up to Staircase.

The other side of the lake has no road and some nice little spots for a lunch hook.

You have to be very careful. There are old stumps and trees that come to the surface or just under the surface. Water is clear.

This is vegetation that hadn't reached the surface yet (early June). I didn't get any pictures of the HUGE cedar stumps that were visible. Sonar showed trees up to 30' still standing under water.

Nice place to throw out the lunch hook.

Pull in close.

Throw out the hook. That's 5:1 on the anchor rode.

A nice spot for lunch.

Towards the head of the reservoir there are more snags.

And a lot more exposed rock.

Rocks and snags.

The original river canyon cuts down through the reservoir, so the depth between the rocks and shore is 40'. To the left of the rocks were some tree tops still exposed. Kind of dicey.

Nice vistas.

There were a couple of private travel club launches and it looked like the place might be a bit of a water ski/PWC nightmare later in the year.

Very nice in a C Dory cabin. I even turned the heat on for a minute.
