Castle Lake Viewpoint
Roadside viewpoint above Castle Lake with sweeping views of Mount St. Helens, the lake and surrounding pumice fields — ideal for mountain-and-reflection shots and geological storytelling. Easy roadside pullout with limited parking, no entry fee; best in clear weather. Visit at sunrise or late afternoon for side lighting and color; winter may bring snow and limited access. Note the 1980 eruption context when framing barren foregrounds and regrowth.
