Lake Aldwell Access

Lake Aldwell Access provides a gravel parking area and trailhead near the former Elwha Dam site on the Elwha River, offering non-motorized access via a former dam service road and short overlook trails.

The area features interpretive signage about the dam removal project and allows visitors to explore the dynamic landscape of the recovering river channel, with views of the Elwha flowing toward the Strait of Juan de Fuca.

No facilities are available at the trailhead, and sturdy footwear is recommended for the unshaded, potentially windy terrain.
