Kayaking at Log Cabin Resort, Lake Crescent

Forecast is for full sun and temps in the mid 70s.
The wind picks up around 11am, but mornings are generally calm.
We will meet at Olympic National Park's Log Cabin Resort on the east side of Lake Crescent. There is no fee station here.
After entering the property, turn left, pass the Boat Launch, and park in the dirt lot. This small
lot fills up quickly on hot days. Bring your own kayak and gear, or rent a kayak between 9am and 5pm ($50 for 2 hours and $75 for 4 hours- reservations now available online https://fareharbor.com/embeds/book/explorolympic/items/726404/calendar/2026/08/?full-items=yes&back=https://exploreolympic.com/things-to-do/&flow=1624044&g4=yes
Be ready to LAUNCH at 930am. We will paddle to Devil's Punchbowl and possibly further, conditions permitting.
Large, clean restrooms are available for changing.
Note that I am not a guide nor an expert and everyone is responsible for their own safety. You must wear a life jacket and know basic water safety rules.
Optional swimming afterwards, so bring a swimsuit and towel.
The Shoreline Kitchen restaurant should be open for breakfast 730am to 10am and for lunch from 11am to 5pm.
