    Blue Lake is a very beautiful lake in beautiful surroundings. This lake is so wonderful. If you came for an overnight stay Ladd Creek Campground is a fine place to camp, and there are other locations here than Blue Lake, for example Lost Lake. If you want a good time in the great outdoors just come on up to the Central Cascade Range. Going for a hike on the Table Mountain Trail is always a magnificent adventure, and if you need a location to stay Best Western  
   Columbia River Inn is a great choice. Skamania Lodge is a wonderful place to get some rest, and get yourself into a kayak and hit Sandy River.
Blue Lake frequently gets a good deal of rainfall; December is when you get the most rain here, and July is when it's the driest. Man, is there heaps of exciting stuff to do close to Blue Lake. The snow is good at Mt. Hood Ski Bowl, and glorious hiking is available along the Lost Lake Butte Trail.
Not enough hours
 
               in a day to enjoy this place. Lakes are such calm locations, why not pop by Bull Run Lake near Blue Lake; lots of folks from Hood River come here. These mountains rock, just look at all the cool things to do in the Central Cascade Range. Go for a hike on the Eagle Tanner Trail, and if you come at the right time of year, Zigzag River offers some brilliant whitewater. This lake is one of the great places here in the Central Cascade Range.
High temperatures at Blue Lake all through the long summer days are in the 70's; during summer nights temperatures are in the 50's. The winter brings highs down to the 40's, and night lows in the 30's for Blue Lake. This lake is so wonderful. If the weather is beautiful, you get a splendid sight of Buck Peak from Blue Lake, and a quick trip to Buck Point Creek is absolutely a delightful idea. Devils Meadow Campground is a nice local campground, and if you like skiing, you're in luck; Timberline Lodge is rather near.

Herman Creek Trail
The Herman Creek Trail was constructed for foot access to the old site of a wartime lookout built to spot ballon bomb sent over by Japan. There were three cabins just past the cliff road and the end of the Herman Creek cut-off trail which statrted at seven and a half mile camp in what was once Cedder Swamp just below Mud Lake....

Little Ashes Lake
Since the previous post was negative, I was skeptical about fishing there. I sent a couple of hours fishing there at one of the few access spots to see how it fished. I was fortunate enough to land a trout about 27 inches long. Not to bad for a couple hours. Caught using a rooster tail spinner. Gotta give it a try....Little Ashes lake is a medium sized spillway from the Columbia River. There is not much public access to the lake. The lake is boundaried on the southwest side by Highway 14. and all the rest is Private property. No way to launch a boat, but I have float tubed it. There are no trails to hike around this lake. You won't want to swim in it since it is columbia river water. The fishing is unproductive as i fished it and never caught a single bass or trout, only sucker fish and perch. My advice is to just enjoy the sight of this lake, but venturing into it is a waste of time....

Bighorn Campground

Have you been to the Bighorn campground site???While this is a beautiful pack-in, primitive site, it doesn't fit with your description. Before camping, take a hike on Nat. Forest Trail 742, without gear. After you've scoped the area, come back and stay. Even on Labor Day Weekend ('06) there were several campsites available in this dispersed camp area....
