Silver Lake Visitor Center |
|||
The Mount St. Helens Visitor Center is the western gateway to the National
Volcanic Monument. Located five miles east of Castle Rock
on the shores of Silver Lake,
this center offers you an excellent introduction to the events of
the May 18, 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens. Services include
award-winning theater presentations, walk-through interpretive
exhibits, a staffed information desk and a Northwest Interpretive Association
book sales area.
A nature trail and magnificent views of Mount St. Helens and
the Silver Lake wetlands provide the
curious visitor year-round opportunities to observe waterfowl, wildlife, and
native vegetation. Across the highway from the Visitor Center is Seaquest State
Park which offers picnic, camping, and recreational facilities.
