Darkwater Lake Grove

THERE’S AN AREA of primary forest, including Douglas fir and mountain hemlock, at the east end of Darkwater Lake. There’s a trail into the lake from a parking area beside the road. Watch for large rocks on the right side of the road as you go west toward the lake.

The area of primary forest can be seen in the photo below: a thin band between the lake and the area of regrowth to the east.
