Olallie Lake Campground

πŸ“Œ Washington πŸ“ 46.289211,-121.619140 β›° 4,270 ft
Olallie Lake Campground is on rolling hills next to Olallie Lake near Mount Adams in Washington. The area is heavily forested and beautiful green. Mount Adams can be seen from the shore which makes a fantastic view. The map says there are 8 campsites but only 5 are still in use.

Recreation

Fishing
Fishing in Olallie Lake is available as well as in other nearby lakes and streams. Check the state regulations for restrictions and seasons.
Boating
Electric powered and human powered boats are allowed on Olallie Lake.
 
Swimming
One could swim most anywhere in the lake but there is no life guard and swimming would be at your own risk.
Recreation
The main recreational activities are fishing, hiking, photography and mountain climbing. There are several trails to hike in the area. I have included pictures of the maps of these trails in the "Host and Views" page on our Takhlakh Lake Campground review. I met several parties that were spending the night before they set out to climb at least part of Mt Adams. I am not a climber and did not find information on climbing the mountain at the campground. For a photographer this area is wonderful both for the greenery and the scenery. 
Wildlife
 Deer and bear abound however there have been no reports of bear problems as of my visit in July of 2013.
