Castle Lake is a barrier lake formed by the May 18, 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens, when an avalanche dammed the South Fork of Castle Creek. The lake covers just slightly more than 1 square kilometer (0.39 sq mi). In 1981 a spillway was constructed to alleviate concerns about sudden erosion.
Mount St. Helens National Monument offers short hikes and excellent visitor centers for families, moderate hikes with grand views for day hikers and extremely difficult terrain — with true solitude — for backcountry enthusiasts.
