Lake Cushman is 8 miles long, 115 feet deep, and has two dams on it, but facts and figures don’t describe its beauty and mystery. The area is rich in culture and history, and it was the ancestral home to the Skokomish tribe, also known as the Twana. Guests can access Lake Cushman from Skokomish Park. Lake Cushman is great for fishing, kayaking, SUP, boating, and swimming.
