2023 Map of Lake Quinault West

About this map

Lake Quinault serves as the focal point of this coastal Washington landscape, where the waters of the Quinault River flow through a corridor of protected federal lands. The map illustrates the boundary between Olympic National Park and Olympic National Forest, showing how the surrounding mountains descend toward the broad river valley. The small community of Amanda Park is situated near the lake's southwestern shore, while Neilton marks a southern point of settlement along the river's lower reaches. The terrain varies from the level expanse of Chow Chow Prairie to the distinct peaks of Thimble Mtn and Lone Mtn. A network of forest and tribal roads, such as BIA Rd F-15 and Hass Road, provides access through the drainage basins of Prairie Creek and McCalla Creek, highlighting the region's reliance on river-fed ecosystems and timber-managed lands.
