Ozette Lake is the largest unaltered natural lake in Washington state at 29.5 km² (2,954 ha).〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.experiencewa.com/attraction.aspx?id=4834 )〕 The Makah name for Lake Ozette was ''Kahouk'' meaning "large lake." Eight miles long and three miles wide, Ozette Lake is contained within the northern boundary of the Olympic National Park's coastal strip. It is 29 feet (~9 m) above sea level and is drained by the Ozette River in the north end. Ozette, Washington lies at the north end of the lake. At 331 feet deep, its bottom lies more than 300 feet below sea level.〔 There are three islands on Ozette Lake: Tivoli, Garden Island, and Baby Island.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.lakelubbers.com/lake-ozette-945/ )〕 Tivoli's sandy shore is a favorite kayaking and canoeing destination for overnight tent campers willing to make the long trip down the lake. Beware of unpredictable weather conditions, as the large surface of the lake is known to fetch large waves rather quickly.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://staceymayer.blogspot.com/2010/07/memorial-birthday-of-martha-julirae.html )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.idowebs.com/paddleheaven/showroom/viewer/107 )〕 The Erickson's Bay campground is the only boat in campground in Olympic National Park. Ozette Lake features several trails leading to the (Pacific Coast Marine Sanctuary ). Three of these trails are continuous cedar boardwalks maintained by the Olympic National Park Service. The two most traveled trails depart from the Olympic National Park information kiosks and restrooms at the north end of Ozette Lake. The northern trail, (3.2 miles,) is a cedar boardwalk leading to Cape Alava, passing through the beautiful (Ahlstrom's Prairie ); the southern boardwalk trail, (3.3 miles,) leads to Sand Point and the Ozette Indian Petroglyphs at Wedding Rock. (54 petroglyphs.)〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://content.lib.washington.edu/cdm4/item_viewer.php?CISOROOT=/loc&CISOPTR=1985 )〕 There is a shorter, (2.5 miles,) boat-in only, well-maintained trail that heads out to the wild ocean beaches from Erickson's Bay, on the northwestern side of Ozette Lake. Additional camping at Erickson's Bay, Eagle Point, or Tivoli Island is available for boaters. Longer coastal hiking trails include the Ozette Loop, connecting the Sand Point and Cape Alava trails by hiking up or down the beach to the next trail head. (About 9 miles.)〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.nps.gov/olym/planyourvisit/ozette-loop.htm )〕 Two other trails are known to locals and Scout groups; one heading to the beach just south of the Park maintained trail from Erickson's, (Coast Guard Trail,) and a trail from Allen's Bay out to Kayostla Beach. Both trails are undeveloped, known to be frequently muddy, and are recommended for more experienced hikers prepared for wet, wilderness hiking.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.sekiu.com/hiking.asp )〕 The National Park Service maintains 15 sites at the main campground at the north end of the lake.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.nps.gov/olym/planyourvisit/visiting-ozette.htm )〕 ==References== 〔 * 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ozette Lake」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
