Today I drove out to visit Bogachiel State Park as part of my 146 Parks project. I couldn’t resist stopping by Lake Crescent for a few photos along the way there and back.

It was delightfully calm, which made for some great reflections.

A wide panoramic view of Lake Crescent on an overcast winter morning, with low clouds clinging to a forested mountain ridge that is mirrored almost perfectly in the still water. Evergreen branches frame the top corners, a weathered driftwood snag juts from the lake near the left shore, and clear shallows reveal rocks in the foreground.

A calm, glassy lake mirrors an overcast sky, with forested mountain slopes draped in low-hanging mist and fog descending into the valley at the far end of the water. A few small lakeside buildings dot the tree-lined shore under soft, muted winter light.
