Seaquest State Park - Silver Lake — Saturday, Jun. 29, 2024

Just returned from a camping trip to Seaquest State Park where we hiked both the Silver Lake trail and the trails to the north of the camping area.

The Silver Lake trail is really neat - a flat, graveled, trail with some boardwalk areas that take you over the wetlands. Take your time and you might see some frogs, herons, lilypads, foxglove, salmon berries and lots of other flora and fauna. Highly recommended to check out the museum ($5/person) showing off Mt. St. Helens, the May 1980 explosion and more. 

The trails north of the campsite are mostly flat, well maintained, and really easy for kids. We did find a few places with logs to step over (< 1 foot) and overall the trail was in excellent condition. Look close and you'll see an ant highway and several ant mounts. We did a few geocaching searches as well, and found nearly everything we were looking for. Fantastic trip!
