Set in a former logging camp above the historic town of Montesano, Lake Sylvia State Park's many charms are a centered around a large swimming and fishing lake that draws families to its shores all summer long.

Explore the 5-mile loop trail, which rolls gently from the campground, over wetlands and a small covered bridge. A walk around the lake reveals a dam that provided hydro-electric power to the logging camp in the early 1900s. Park trails connect to a network of hiking and biking trails in the surrounding 5,000-acre Montesano City Forest.
