     Whohoo, so many fun things in one place! The Central Cascade Range is peerless! If you came to camp Devils Meadow Campground is a delightful place to do that; Cape Horn is clearly visible from Cast Lake. Now, you may think that's plenty but there's even more enjoyable things to do here in the Central Cascade Range. Cast Lake is right by the Devils Canyon Trail; Mount Hood Inn is a fine place to get some rest. This lake is so wonderful. Paddling on Sandy River  
   is so much fun, and Mt. Hood Ski Bowl has wonderful slopes and a friendly staff.
The Cast Creek Trail offers hiking at its best; glide down the rapids of Zigzag River in a kayak. Hit the slopes at Timberline Lodge in the neighborhood, and dry warm beds await you at Whispering Woods (Vri). Just can't get enough of Cast Lake. Cast Lake is fine enough to spend more than a day at, Twin Bridges Campground is a fine local campground; you'll hit upon a stunning lake
 
               called Devils Lake.
This lake is so wonderful. Lakes are such calm places, why not visit Dumbbell Lake in the vicinity of Cast Lake; swing by Lady Creek it's a wonderful site to pop by. While you're here at Cast Lake you will meet lots of folks from close by Hood River, and if you're here at Cast Lake it's a nice idea to stop at Old Maid Flat. This lake is located in the wonderful Central Cascade Range.
So many enjoyable things to do at Cast Lake, so little time. Hiking along the Burnt Lake Trail is delightful fun.

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.

No fish here.  At least no fish jumping.  Probably winter kills as Google Earth show this lake very low by late summer....

Little Ashes Lake
16 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....
