Olallie Lake is surrounded by other alpine lakes, including Talapus Lake to the south and Pratt Lake a short distance north. Because of its proximity to Snoqualmie Pass and other prominent peaks in the Alpine Lakes Wilderness,[4] the lakes are a popular area for hiking, swimming, and fishing rainbow trout.[5]
Access to Olallie Lakes is through Mount Defiance Trail 1009, which is an offshoot of Pratt Lake Trail 1007.[6] The trail splits north to Pratt Lake and west towards Island Lakes.[7]
Access is also from Talapus Lake trail or Pratt Lake trail further east, a short exit from Interstate 90, west of the Snoqualmie Pass.
