It is named after the Shoshone woman named Sacajawea who guided Meriwether Lewis and William Clark during their expedition to the Pacific Ocean. The lake is made up of four sections, each separated by a bridged road. Several small parks are part of the larger Lake Sacajawea Park. Lake Sacajawea Park is a 67-acre park in the middle of the city. The lake's water is pumped into the north end from the Cowlitz River and flows to the south end where it exits into the Columbia River.

Saint Helens. As you can imagine, the place is buzzing with tourists even more so than usual. But if all you want to do is get a clear look at a mighty big chunk of it, you could do worse than to travel the back roads around Cougar and look up from time to time. This photo was taken at the Yale Reservoir, probably about 3 or 4 miles outside Cougar, Washington. There are trails and vantage points all through the area, some of them marked, some, not so much. If you don't like the view in one place, just move onto the next. And if you feel the tug too hard from the visitor centers and the souvenir shop, they're just a short drive away. But give the countryside a try first. The views are so beautiful, you may never get to those tourist centers after all.](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/184130/5c68fce8-a0f9-4015-b13b-b015ccd4b918.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=512&h=288&q=medium) ### Cougar ![Sandhill Crane splitting the atmosphere with its massive wings. A group of about twenty of these flew no more than 25 feet over my head. Of course, their back was to the sun, so all that subtle, rich color in the under part of the wings was lost. No denying the majesty of the bird, though. (PS: and forgive me. The Trover crop factor on extra wide shots took effect on this one.)](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/184153/19e72205-6706-45b2-8599-e673050861a1.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=512&h=288&q=medium) ### Woodland ## Explore a world of travel with Expedia -
