If you came for an overnight stay Devils Meadow Campground is a great place to camp, and if you come at the right time of year, Sandy River offers some great whitewater. This lake is so wonderful. A lake close by is Lost Lake, and nearby you locate the Lost Lake Butte Trail which is a magnificent hiking trail. Bull Run Lake is a beautiful lake in the Central Cascade Range.

That right there is a heap of fun things already but it goes on, the Central Cascade Range has it all. Going for a hike on the Cast Creek Trail is always a tremendous adventure, and you can hit the slopes at Mt. Hood Ski Bowl in the vicinity. Here at Bull Run Lake there are plenty of people from Hood River, and there are some good whitewater spots on Hood River - Lake Branch. Be careful coming to the Central Cascade Range, you might not ever wanna go home again. Timberline Lodge is a very popular ski area around here, and why not pop by Bull Run Lake Dam if you're here.

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....

Bighorn Campground
11 miles away
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....

Little Ashes Lake
11 miles away
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....
