Barnes Point is an ancient landslide delta that juts out into Lake Crescent in Clallam County, Washington.
Barnes Creek flows through an old-growth forest, providing spawning habitat for the endemic Crescent cutthroat trout.
The ten acres of land between Rosemary Inn and Lake Crescent Lodge were owned by businessman Thomas Aldwell until 1940.
Margaret Merrill wrote the classic "Bears in my Kitchen" and her husband Bill ( a park ranger) published a guide to fishing and camping.
By 1949, 13 people lived on the property including a nanny from Scotland, field hands from Oklahoma and the two families.
