A Guide On Lake Cushman Camping

By Ines Flores


If you have ever been to the Olympic National Park then you might be correct in your prediction. Yes, the little known staircase region home to Lake Cushman and the Skokomish River. This place is a sight to see and is home to sheer beauty and breath taking Mather Nature. Lake Cushman camping is one of the best activities to be in with your loved one. For a romantic gate away, a family tradition or leisure, this will surely not disappoint.

Camping in and of itself is how humanity should be living. This is because, there is minimal pollution. A peaceful coexistence with Mother Nature with a breath-taking surrounding to dwell in. Though snatched away by evolution, you can still get to experience this in your leisure or planned events. The fees are affordable so do not be discouraged.

For fact, what was seen recently was the fisher. The icon of this area is back. Prior to the Tacoma expansionary activities in this area, fishers were all over the rapids and walking down you would not miss them. The ice age went, the original dam too and the fisher also. Lucky enough it came back and you could be lucky to see it.

In the woods, a new friend but not a visitor is back. The fisher is back to Staircase. The long gone animal is back. To many this calls for celebration because for decades since the ice ages this animal has not been seen. A walk in the woods or down the rapids can be a good idea if you want to spot it.

This place has a rich history. The name came from a translator who worked for Isaac Steven during the Treaty of Point Elliot. Mr. Cushman got honored by being the naming of this lake after him in place of the local Twana community, natives of Washington, which had another name.

Lake Cushman got its name from a translator who aided Isaac Stevens in Point Elliot Treaty. However, the native Twana had a different name to this place, the latter ended up being the formal one. This site was home to mountaineers who traversed all the way to the famous Antler hotel that stood in front of the Eleanor and Washington mountains. However, the growth of Tacoma and the dams meant the Antler hotel, placed at the shores, was eventually going to be covered by water.

The latest headline that may worsen the possibility of people coming here in future is the fact that the Staircase region is soon to be closed for camping. The other remaining 47 spots across this large region can be still used. There is a lot to do here.

The latest developments is the Staircase camping is almost getting closed. However, the size of this place makes the remaining 47 spots open for exploration and camping. There are designated areas in a lake that one can swim in. The clear waters for sure are a darling to many and the need to swim is inevitable. The authority in this park has made safety precautions for this.
