Perhaps the well kept secret in the Olympic National Park is the staircase region. The area in between the Cushman Lake and river Skokomish is sight to be. There are loads of places to try a Lake Cushman camping. Ranked third in the country, this place is not stopping till it hits the number one spot. Home to Variety and beauty, this is a sure place to be.
The name Twana means fresh water. For a fact, you will be surprised if at all this place is in the 21 century. The clear streams and river will fill your desires full. The local native Twanas were referred so by the Quinault as the people who dwell with the monster. No true fact has been tabled to establish if a monster was truly there but if it was seen then it was there.
The Skokomish people in the eyes of their neighbors were referred to us the people who resided with the monster. There is no fact up to date that substantiates this and it could still remain to be a myth. But, well myths are there to be believed or not. The name Twana in itself is fresh water, a descriptive feature of the place and true to that.
In the woods, a new friend but not a visitor is back. The fisher is back to Staircase. The long gone animal is back.

This was a fall and water streamed down from the Staircase. Therefore, River Skokomish is the mother to the lake itself.
You might also need to know how the name came about. Cushman, a translator to Isaac Stevens in Treaty of Point Elliot, was honored with the naming of this lake after him. The local Washington natives, Twanas, however had a different name to this place that did not formalize.
