Marine Park is a beautiful park along the Columbia River. The park has several walking and biking paths, a beach and a picnic area.

Seaquest State Park is a 475-acre park along the banks of Silverlake. The park has hiking trails, a campsite and views of Mount. St. Helen's volcano.

Now accessible only via the Blue Lake Trailhead (or a thru-hike), this bridge offers safe passage across Sheep Canyon and its riotous creek, both of which cut across the western flank of Mount St. Helens. Leave yourself a little time to hike upstream and see a waterfall.

Blue Lake is small and shallow, and was relatively unaffected by the 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens. But the land around it was affected, including major debris flows that deposited silt in the lake. Keep an eye out for huge noble firs near the lake.

If you'd like to avoid crowds around the other side of Coldwater Lake, starting here and hiking northeast gets you some nice views over the lake from elevation. Or, if you don't mind walking beside the road for a short distance, you can use this trailhead to link a complete, challenging loop around the lake.

The South Fork Toutle River is a reliable water source along the Loowit Trail. There are also spots to pitch your tent at the south side of the river. A rope will help you to climb over the loose rock down and up the river bank.

Here, you have a great view of the crater of Mount St. Helens.
