About Lake Sylvia State Park

This state-run park sits in the northern part of Montesano in Grays Harbor County, surrounded by dense rainforest. Visitors can fish from a bridge, hike or bike several miles of trails, including a loop around the lake, and watch for wildlife and seasonal wildflowers. Campers have a range of sites along with showers and restrooms, and day visitors can reserve shelters for gatherings. The park also offers a swim beach and an accessible playground. Some recent trail and boat launch changes are posted on the park's alerts, so check before visiting.
