Site...Lake Mowich can be accessed by dirt road so kayaking and inflatable boats are highly recommended. The area fills up on weekends with plenty of day-use activities including hiking, lake use, and access to the Wonderland trail around Rainier. There is a fire lookout and another alpine lake just a few miles up one of the many trails. The campground is partially reserved for backpackers taking the 90+ mile trek around Mt. Rainier. They have designated food containers minimize the impact of the campground. There are 2 pit toilets which are beautifully maintained during the summer. This place can get a little busy on sunny summer weekends and there are no campfires allowed. The beauty here should be experienced at least once even if you arent into hiking.
