Deer Lake is actually two lakes, one being considerably smaller than the other. Both are picturesque mountain lakes surrounded by lush vegetation. You can hike around the larger Deer Lake, take a break or even spend the night up here.

If you like to pitch your tent around the lakes, you need to obtain a Wilderness Camping Permit that is available 6 months prior to your trip. Visit recreation.gov/permits/4098362 to reserve a permit. The area around Deer Lake is a quota area, so camping is limited. Find more information about fees and quotas: nps.gov/olym/planyourvisit/wilderness-reservations.htm

A very calm lake in the lonely wilderness of the Olympic National Park. Here you can take a good rest and enjoy the silence.

Beautiful lake. The water is fresh and frigid in May as well as 3 feet of snow on the ground. I would love to go back during July and August to see the rest of the trails.
