The Road and Coverage:  Please be mindful of the remote nature of the Olallie Lake Scenic Area.  There are no phones or banks, no gas stations or auto repair shops, so fill your gas tank and come prepared.  Also, be mindful that the roads can be rough and usually are. However, it is a beautiful drive and so worth it!

Boat Motors: Motors on boats are not allowed on Olallie Lake. This includes electric motors.

Swimming:  No swimming is allowed in Olallie Lake, however Head Lake is nearby (within 5 minutes of the store) and has a dock, large rocks to sit on and is a wonderful swimming lake.  There are also over 25 lakes in the scenic area to hike to and swim in.

Are you wheel-chair accessible?  We do have wheel chair access to the store.  Large Cabins #5 and #6 are wheel chair accessible.

Can I bring my dog?  Forest Service Permit Regulations  require that all dogs be kept on a leash.  Well behaved dogs are allowed, however, if your dog likes to bark or is threatening - then please board your dog.  Dogs cannot be left unattended in the cabins.  No exotic pets are allowed.  Renters will be responsible to pay for any damages made to the cabins or yurts.

Store: The store stocks groceries, candy & snacks, beverages, beer & wine, sporting goods, fishing supplies, limited auto supplies, first-aid supplies, health & hygiene supplies,  souvenirs.   We will add as requests and needs demand.  Ice and water is sold in limited quantities.

Outdoor Fires: Outdoor fires are not allowed in the cabin area.  The yurts, public day use area and surrounding campground sites have fire rings where outdoor fires are allowed.  Guests who stay in the cabins are invited to use the new campfire area just above cabins 1 through 4! Firewood for outside fires can be purchased at the store.

PCT and thru Hiker Packages:  We do not accept packages via mail because there is no mail delivery to the resort.  However, the store is well supplied with hiker food and supplies including fuel. Also, if you are able to hand deliver a package ahead of time we can hold it for you. We look forward to meeting you as you pass through and assisting you with your journey.
