Lake Yahoo is a backcountry camp adrift in time. Once, the large pond-like lake nestled on an outlying ridge of the Olympic Mountains was a working stage-camp for the first Forest Service crews in the early 20th C., then CCC gangs during the Great Depression, and then explorers & workers in nearby Olympic National Park, after it was formed in 1938. This place is in the southwestern quadrant of the Olympic Peninsula, and just outside the SW corner of the Park. It’s in deep timber-country, in the Clearwater River watershed, at a headwater of major tributary Stequaleho Creek.
Major logging roads lead into the general vicinity of Yahoo, and minor roads come within a short hike.
