Alder Lake is a 7mi long reservoir on the Nisqually River in Eatonville, Washington in the U.S. state of Washington, which was created by the construction of Alder Dam in September 1944. At the very eastern end of the lake is the town of Elbe, Washington. The name of the lake recalls the former small town of Alder, which was flooded in 1945 by the impounded water of the lake and disappeared.

    Current you must park outside the normal parking area and walk into the park. I believe this is a winter closure for cars only as the building appear closed. Stunning area, cut trees, water level is current very low. If you walk towards the water … you will get muddy. Dogs had a blast.

    Beautiful lake. The water is turquoise and calm. Great place to kayak or fish. Can camp here or just have a picnic. When it is warm out, there is also a swimming area and beach.
