Coho Campground

Coho Campground provides convenient access to Wynoochee Lake via a dedicated boat ramp located next to the campground on the west shore. This U.S. Forest Service facility in Olympic National Forest offers a well-developed launch area with nearby parking and is suitable for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboats. The campground itself is reservable and includes amenities such as potable water, flush toilets, trash collection, and picnic areas—making it a practical base for multi-day paddling trips.

The Wynoochee River impoundment offers reliable recreational opportunities, with rainbow trout and whitefish attracting anglers throughout the season. Paddlers can also access the scenic Wynoochee Lake Shore Trail (#878) from the campground for hiking between water-based activities. Located about 35 miles north of Montesano via Wynoochee Valley Road, Coho serves as an accessible entry point for exploring this forested lake environment. Note that the campground operates seasonally during summer months when amenities are available.
