The 90,000-acre Yacolt Burn State Forest, and nearby areas to the north and east in Cowlitz, Clark, Skamania, and Klickitat counties, are working forests. The Washington State Department of Natural Resources (DNR) manages timber production, biomass byproducts, communication tower leases, and other activities in the forest to help fund local county services and the construction of public K-12 schools throughout Washington.

Located north of Naselle, this five tent-only campsite lake is situated on the way up to Radar Ridge. There is a short trail that goes around the lake and a trail connecting to Snag Lake.

Quiet and underused

Easy to get to and a beautiful lake. When I was there, there were a couple of beaver working at the head of the lake. A quiet location and if you go farther up the road there is a viewpoint that lets you see clear to the coast on a sunny day.
