The well known yet little felt place in the Olympic National Park is the Staircase area. This is the place in between Lake Cushman and the Skokomish River. A spectacular place little heard of in the country. Lake Cushman camping is home to numerous sites that are underutilized. You need to taste and see what the number three top camping site in the country has for you.
The name Twana means fresh water. For a fact, you will be surprised if at all this place is in the 21 century. The clear streams and river will fill your desires full. The local native Twanas were referred so by the Quinault as the people who dwell with the monster. No true fact has been tabled to establish if a monster was truly there but if it was seen then it was there.
The local people, the Skokomish, were referred to us the Twana. This meant the people who lived with the monster. No proven fact about the evidence of a beast that could have lived here but for a fact, if one or two saw the monster, and then it could be true, or false. And to top it all off, the name Twana means Fresh water, a true fact about the place and its fresh, crystal clear waters.
In the woods, a new friend but not a visitor is back. The fisher is back to Staircase. The long gone animal is back. To many this calls for celebration because for decades since the ice ages this animal has not been seen. A walk in the woods or down the rapids can be a good idea if you want to spot it.
You probably might need to hear some facts about this lake region. In 1926 the Tacoma city was being supplied for the first time hydroelectric power from this lake. It had two dams initial. One formed through glaciers in last ice age. At the lake you can even sight a dam on a hill. Well that was not one if we went 100 years back. This was a fall and water streamed down from the Staircase. Therefore, River Skokomish is the mother to the lake itself.
You might also need to know how the name came about. Cushman, a translator to Isaac Stevens in Treaty of Point Elliot, was honored with the naming of this lake after him. The local Washington natives, Twanas, however had a different name to this place that did not formalize.
There is also the antique and famous Antler Hotel that stood close to Mouth Eleanor and Washington. Situated also to the shore of this lake, it stood prey to the increased water levels. As result of the expansion and dams needed by Tacoma city, this hotel was covered by water and ended.
Swimming in the lake is common with the visitors. There is even a small island to swim out to in the lake. The authority has stepped up and made designated areas for swimming to safeguard the people. This and many other spectacular things to get into are the meant to be seen and touched. It affordable and for that, do not be discouraged.
