Annette Lake is one of the premiere hiking destinations near Seattle and Tacoma. It is within an hour's drive of both cities and provides a breath-taking view at the end of the pleasant hike in. If the weather cooperates, we will have an opportunity for a swim at the lake. There is a restroom at the trailhead and an outhouse at the lake. The Northwest Forest Pass or equivalent must be displayed by each car at the trailhead.
