Mossyrock

About Mossyrock

Located in rural East Lewis County, Mossyrock prides itself on its beautiful natural surroundings and strong sense of community. The town is named after a nearby rock covered in moss, which is said to resemble a bear. Mossyrock is situated in the foothills of the Cascade Mountains and is surrounded by lush forests, crystal-clear lakes, and stunning waterfalls.

One of the main attractions in Mossyrock is the Mayfield Lake, which is located just a few miles from the town. It is a popular destination for fishing, boating, swimming, and other water sports. The lake is also surrounded by several parks, including Ike Kinswa State Park and Mossyrock Park, which offer hiking trails, camping sites, and picnic areas. Another popular destination is Mossyrock Dam, which was built in the 1960s and is the tallest dam in the state of Washington.

The fertile agriculture lands in Mossyrock produce a bounty of crops each year.  A large percentage of Washington state’s blueberry crop comes from this region, as well as a large supply of the nation’s Christmas trees.
