Go to Lizard Lake if you want to go to a nice lake. Whitewater paddling is not for everyone but if it's for you then we recommend Crystal River, and hey, Gotta ski right? Irwin Lodge is a brilliant spot to do that. The warmest time of the year at Lizard Lake arrives with high temperatures in the 70's; throughout summer nights temperatures are in the 40's. During the wintertime highs are typically in the 30's; after the sun is down during the wintertime temperatures

Lakes are tremendous; Beaver Lake is a lake that's right next door to Lizard Lake; there's some attention-grabbing stuff to see at Beaver Lake Dam in close proximity to Lizard Lake. Buckskin Basin is a good site, and one of the overriding traits of the surroundings of Lizard Lake is Mount Daly. The Hammond Trail offers hiking at its best, and dry warm beds await you at Laurelwood Condominiums. | |

Lizard Lake beyond doubt is in the middle of a pretty outdoors paradise. Around Lizard Lake you don’t get a lot of rain; the wettest month of the year is mostly August, that's the one that rains the most, and February on the other
hand is the driest. Lost Trail Creek flows through this neighborhood, and Meri-daes RV Park and General Store is a tremendous local campground. This lake is so wonderful. Good hiking is available along the Munsey Ruby Stock Driveway,
and if you need a site to stay Wildwood Lodge is a fine choice. Not far from Lizard Lake, you'll stumble on Beaver Lake Reservoir which is a beautiful lake; Osgood Campground is a glorious campground nearby. What a place this
is for outdoors people. There's wonderful hiking along the Trail Riders Trail, and get your pulse rate up on the good whitewater of Yule Creek.

Excellent white-water kayaking on the Crystal River, for the experienced expert only. Coors Falls at Lead King Basin is a top scale challenge, as is the 2-mile river course from the Crystal Mill. Somewhat milder is the Crystal River from Marble to Redstone. Beyond Redstone gets a little hairy... |

Lost Lake Campground
 | 11 miles away I just camped at Lost Lake 2 weeks ago! It is so beautiful and serene they were holding a wedding there 2 days after we left. With only 10 campsites, it is quiet and ideal for families or couples. A beautiful view of Lost Lake Slough and of the mountains in the background greeted us in the morning. The full moon rising over the crest of the mountain was a real treat the first night we got there. There is a 3 mile hike within walking distance on which we saw beautiful wildflowers, 2 waterfalls, and 3 lakes. ENJOY!... |
Camp Id-Ra-Ha-Je West
 | 13 miles away 3 PHOTOS Aerial view of the camp... Campers and the sign... View... ...s Bible-based Youth Camp Teaching the Bible Since 1974. We operate as a retreat center for children, youth and adults year around. A typical week-end retreat costs $95 per person.
Our Mission:
Our greatest desire is that God would use Camp West for His glory in bringing people to him in evangelism and discipleship. Our prayer is that this occurs both in the retreats we host and the summer camps we operate for children and youth.
For good reason, we qualify the types of organizations that may use this facility to those who are best described as 'Bible believing'. In other words, they are churches and ministries that believe the Bible to be God's inerrant and inspired word, and live out their lives in regards to what the Bible teaches. That is not to say that all groups that use this camp are in total agreeement on all issues. But on the basics of biblical orthodoxy, we must agree.
