🗻 Hike the Tam-a-lau Trail

Climb to a high plateau with panoramic views.

6.6-mile loop at Cove Palisades that climbs to the top of "the peninsula" between two arms of Lake Billy Chinook. Ridge views span the Cascades on clear days. Open year-round but very exposed — early starts and lots of water in summer.

Good to know

  • Day-use fee at Cove Palisades.
  • Zero shade; bring 2L+ water in summer.
  • Dogs welcome on leash.
