QUINAULT — Multiple closures and construction projects are in progress in the Lake Quinault area in both Olympic National Forest and Olympic National Park.

Visitors cannot complete the entire Quinault Loop from either direction as the North Shore Road is closed at milepost 14.5.

Graves Creek Road will open today after initial bridge repairs are complete. The road will close again in early August to finalize bridge repairs.

Additional bridge repairs in the area will occur over the summer. Visitors are urged to use caution as there will be single-lane closures with temporary delays.

The North Fork Campground and trailheads are accessible by driving North Shore Road.

Graves Creek Road, campground and trailheads can be accessed via the South Shore Road after today.
