About
Potlatch is a 125-acre state park in Washington, about 2.4 miles from the town of Skokomish.

At a nearby weather station, typical July and August highs average around 76°F with only about five wet days a month, while winter months typically see around 20 wet days and highs in the mid-40s. Several other outings lie within a short drive.
