So much cool stuff in the Central Cascade Range, just extraordinary. There's some attention-grabbing stuff to see at Bull Run Lake Dam near Bull Run Lake, and whitewater paddling is not for everyone but if it's for you then, we recommend Hood River - Lake Branch. All the water falling down from the sky makes Bull Run Lake a wet place; December is when you get the most rain here while July is the month with the least amount of precipitation. Bull Run Lake is not the only spot close by, Lost Lake is a close by lake, and there are some perfect whitewater spots on Sandy River.
Yep, outdoors cool things to do are truly plentiful here at Bull Run Lake. You get a fine view of Devils Pulpit from Bull Run Lake; if you've had enough of Bull Run Lake, Blue Lake is nearby.

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....
