Looks like a great outing!!

[withabix]

Which route did you take? I'm guessing it was via Harrison West?

We went up the west side of Chehalis Lake on Sunday and the FSR is artificially blocked (completely impassible) just after the Skwellepil Creek Recreation Site. Is this the original blockage after the landslip or has it been recently blocked again?

Investigated a couple of logging roads south east of the lake and came across a couple of recently fallen trees too.

[ANDYD]

Yes, the road up the west side of Chehalis Lake has been blocked for quite a few years by a huge landslide with no plans to repair the road in the near future.
The only way in now is via the west side of Harrison Lake then along Mystery Creek FSR
