Naschel

Naschel is a small town located in Lewis County, Washington, United States. It is situated along the Naschel River, a tributary of the Chehalis River. The community is largely rural and historically reliant on the timber industry.

Naschel is unincorporated, meaning it does not have its own municipal government and is governed by Lewis County. The population is relatively small, and the area primarily consists of residential homes, farms, and forested land. Basic services are provided by the county and nearby towns.

The name "Naschel" is believed to be derived from a Native American word, though its exact meaning is uncertain. The area was settled by European Americans in the late 19th century as logging became a prominent industry.

While Naschel itself doesn't boast large-scale attractions, its location provides access to outdoor recreational activities such as fishing, hunting, and hiking in the surrounding forests and along the Naschel River. The nearby Willapa Hills also offer scenic drives and opportunities for exploring the natural landscape of southwest Washington.
