	WDFW - Sockeye Salmon: Ozette Lake Sockeye
		The lake is highly productive and out-migrant yearling smolts are unusually large, averaging 4 ½ to 5 inches in length Smolts produced in Ozette Lake are documented as the third largest among west coast sockeye populations examined for average smolt size.
		The first estimates of escapement of Ozette Lake sockeye salmon occurred in the early 1940s, and the run sizes entering the lake were estimated at a level of several thousand fish.
		The Ozette Lake sockeye salmon population was listed as a threatened Evolutionarily Significant Unit (ESU) under the ESA on March 25, 1999.

	Natural History of the Ozette Prairies
		The climate of the Ozette region is marine with mild seasons and excessive precipitation.
		The overall impact of logging on the hydrology of Lake Ozette is expected to be an increase in seasonal lake-level fluctuation: higher winter-season levels and lower summer-season level.
		Several conditions in the Ozette watershed are believed to have contributed to the population decline (Table 1).

	OZETTE AREA - ELDER BOB
		Ozette Lake, whose western shore line is approximately two miles east of the Pacific Ocean, had a heavy concentration of homesteaders prior to 1900.
		Ozette Lake residents were not, however, able to sustain themselves through their efforts working with the land.
		In 1897 when Ozette Lake was included in the newly established two-million-acre Olympic Forest Reserve, many settlers left, abandoning their homes, tools, and heavier possessions that had been difficult to transport to the lake.

		LAKE OZETTE (Sept. 7, 2001) Visitors to Lake Ozette on the North Olympic Peninsula will see a small boat with strange antennae array and high tech equipment plying the waters this summer and into the fall.
		One question researchers hope to answer is why there appears to be such a discrepancy between the numbers of fish observed entering the lake and the lower numbers that are observed spawning on lake beaches and in the tributaries.
		Rapidly fluctuating lake levels may be partially responsible for eliminating some of the spawning beaches in combination with siltation from logging and associated road building.

		But the Ozette Lake vicinity, which includes the famous Ozette archaeological dig at Cape Alava on the coastal part of the park, is most notable for its Native American heritage and culture as well as magnificent ocean beaches.
		Ozette Lake -- commonly called Lake Ozette -- actually is the third largest natural body of fresh water in the state and an extraordinarily popular fishing and water sport destination during the summer months.
		However, this time of year the lake is more of a backdrop for the popular year-round hiking trails that fork north and south from the ranger station to the ocean beaches.

	EPA: Federal Register: Endangered and Threatened Species: Threatened Status for Ozette Lake Sockeye Salmon in Washington
		In Ozette Lake, where access to and from the ocean is relatively easy and the energetic costs of migration to and from the ocean are negligible, the sockeye salmon morphology has not been reported to occur on the tributary spawning grounds of kokanee (prior to the recent sockeye salmon stocking efforts in these tributaries).
		If Ozette Lake kokanee were producing anadromous outmigrants that were surviving to adulthood, individuals expressing the sockeye salmon morphology would most likely have been seen on the kokanee spawning grounds.
		NMFS concludes that the sockeye salmon stock reared at Umbrella Creek Hatchery should be considered part of the Ozette Lake ESU, based on the fact that broodstock are derived from wild beach-spawning adults and that hatchery stock is not perpetuated by spawning fish returning to the hatchery.

		Ozette sockeye return to spawn in Lake Ozette, a lake that is roughly eight-miles long and located south of the Makah Tribe’s reservation on the northern tip of the Olympic Peninsula.
		As a result, the numbers of sockeye returning to the Lake Ozette system in 2000 and 2001 are the highest on record since the 1920s.
		The returning lake and tributary sockeye are analyzed genetically to make sure they are not inter-breeding with kokanee.

	Olympic National Park: Land Management (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		Declining sockeye salmon populations in Lake Ozette have been attributed primarily to shoreline and tributary habitat degradation on the lake's eastern side.
		Two large lakes, Ozette and Crescent, are contained within Olympic National Park, but some of Lake Ozette's eastern shoreline is privately owned, and 106 privately owned tracts of shoreline lie along Lake Crescent.
		The federally threatened Ozette sockeye does not exist anywhere else in the world, and overfishing and shoreline and tributary habitat degradation are thought to be primary causes of its decline.

	Eric Rush 29 JUN 00: Canoe camping on Lake Mills
		Lake Mills, the reservoir on the Elwha River in Olympic National Park, is not my favorite of local canoeing waters.
		Sudden breezes often blow up the steep canyon the lake lies in, and the east shore is mostly cliff face and steep slope, a difficult place to go ashore when wind and waves become hazardous.
		Plan B was to drive the much shorter distance to Lake Mills, put in at the boat launch near the dam, and paddle south a couple of miles to the inlets of Cat Creek and the river.

	Walking Tracks :: Washington State - Lake Ozette Loop
		The Lake Ozette Loop on Washington State’s Olympic Peninsula is a 15 kilometer hike that goes through majestic old-growth forest, traverses a rugged, lonely stretch of coastline, and then returns through the forest on a separate trail.
		The trail begins and ends at Lake Ozette, which is located 20 miles northwest of the town of Forks, at the end of the Hoko/Ozette road.
		The return trip to Lake Ozette along the Sand Point Trail is similar to the approach via the Cape Alava Trail, but slightly shorter and flatter, and the forest contains less old growth.

		The last two years have focused primarily on Lake Ozette as being the potential primary water source for the Neah Bay community as other alternatives would create unacceptable environmental conditions.
		A completed environmental impact study will allow the Makah Tribe to continue their pursuit of accessing Lake Ozette as the primary water source and pursue construction of a pipeline and treatment facility to meet the 50-year demand.
		It would help us to proceed onto the next phase of making Lake Ozette as the primary water source for Neah Bay replacing the 32-year old outdated water system currently in use and would allow us to add approximately 30 homes at a minimum, which currently use poor quality well water.

	Ozette RMP Q&A
		The core beach-spawning sockeye population in Ozette Lake was listed in 1999 as threatened under the ESA because of recent low abundance status, and short and long term declines in abundance trends.
		The decline of this ESU was probably the result of a combination of factors, including past logging in the watershed, over-harvest before the 1970s, poor water quality, introduction of non-native species, and predation by seals and otters.
		Improved habitat, spawning beaches and watershed conditions are necessary to rebuild the ESA-listed beach-spawning Ozette sockeye population to a viable level.

	Fish Resources 3
		In Washington, sockeye are found in Lake Washington, Baker Lake, Ozette Lake, Quinault Lake, and Lake Wenatchee.
		Spawning: Sockeye are unique in that they require a lake to rear in as fry, so the river they choose to spawn in must have a lake in the system.
		Rearing: Juvenile sockeye rear for one or two years in a lake, although they are also found in the inlet and outlet streams of the lake.

		Suddenly the river was blocked by ice, trapping the salmon in the lake that formed behind the ice dam.
		As the fish died, their bodies sank to the bottom of the lake where it was too cold or lacking in oxygen for scavengers to disturb their skeletons.
		Although they are no longer harvested, Lake Ozette sockeye are still sensitive to a variety of stresses and remain a species of concern.
