The Lake is 624ft Deep

[Eero]

Went for a hike/swim around a lake near where I live in WA. Took along the BK5, BK15 combo.

You climb up the rock on the other side of this bridge and jump in the pool to the right. It's really deep. I dived and tried to reach the bottom a couple of time but couldn't do it. If you open your eyes underwater the lake is so clear you can see a long distance.

My overnighter. I strapped on a chair because the terrain is rocky...the one luxury item I always bring. My crazy creek chair.

Madrona tree:

Some places are almost beach like with really dark pebble rocks. I was watching a fish swim around under this tree.

Parting shot:

There is nothing like sitting down into a crazy creek at the end of a hike. Never leave for a overnighter without one...

Judging from the steep angles of the terrain, it's easy to believe the depth of the lake. Beautiful area and beautiful water!

Man that water is incredible. Thanks for sharing.

That water looks COLD!

Did the Beckers enjoy their swim?

 

[Rudeco]

Man those pictures look so serene.

There are lakes that aren't brown?! Man, I've been swimming in the wrong places.
Also, you're lucky to not have anyone else around. If that type of spot was here, it would be flooded with people.

Looks like heaven! Which lake? It looks like Alpine Lakes area. I promise not to give out your secret area. BTW, HCS, that's the clarity of most of our lakes. Pretty cool, eh?

Nevermind..

Another question how warm or cold was that water? The lakes in WA are usually pretty cold

I'm going to say Lake Crescent on the Olympic Peninsula. It's a beautiful spot.

Yes it is. Good eye!

It was very cold. You don't really swim just "plunge". My knives did enjoy some fresh water after being on the beach and getting a little rusty for a week around all the salt...

That is such a beautiful place. I would like to have a cabin next to a lake like that.

Where is Washington? I am at FT. Lewis and I do most my camping around the Greenwater Area, but I am hoping to start venturing out more.

 

[Catmouth]

Amazing spot. Looks like a great time.

How is the fishing there?

 

[Bladite]

jeez - i have free dived to 50 feet - scary... beyond that? give me tanks...

just saw some video of some crazy geological disasters like lake pineur sink hoe. man. 1000s of feet.

even when i scuba dived, 100+ feet was scary town.

 

[not2sharp]
