Enjoy the wonder of nearby Lake Crescent, a glacially carved lake with clear-water views to almost 60 feet. Dip your paddle in turquoise-hued alpine waters or rushing rivers. Bike, hike and run through old-growth forests, or cast a line for wild salmon.
The adventure doesn’t stop there. Experience a hip and historic city Outside Magazine calls one of the best spots to live in the U.S. Stroll, shop and discover local art and music, fresh-from-the sea cuisine, and regional craft beer and wine.
