Craig Lake is always a pleasure to visit. Now, you may think that's heaps but there's even more enjoyable stuff to do here at Craig Lake. Why not camp at Suttle Lake Resort and Marina while you're here at Craig Lake; a lake close by is Huckleberry Lake. This lake is so wonderful. The Hand Lake Trail is a magnificent hiking trail in the vicinity of Craig Lake, and some exciting geology is available here, Belknap Crater is right here. West Lava Creek is next

low temperatures all through the wintertime are in the 20's. The Central Cascade Range scenery is always beautiful. Dry warm beds await you at Best Western Ponderosa Lodge, and McKenzie Pass is close by, and is a great spot. This
lake is so wonderful. If the weather is fine here at Craig Lake, you can go for a hike along the Obsidian Trail, obviously you could also have a look at Campers Lake since you're here; it's not far at all. Not enough hours in a day
to enjoy this site. If you came for an overnight stay Camp Tamarack is a good place to camp. Man, is there a load of cool things to do in the Central Cascade Range. Whitewater paddling is not for everyone but if it's for you then
we recommend Squaw Creek, and Lodge at Suttle Lake is a great site to get some rest. While you're here at Craig Lake you can take a hike along the Scott Trail, and why not head up to Mt. Bachelor and strap some skis to your feet.
You clearly have to go for the Central Cascade Range. Hoodoo is a very popular ski area in close proximity, and the view of Condon Butte is striking.

Winopee Lake
 | 18 miles away Went to Winopee lake this weekend...it was a little dissapointing because the lake is about 45% covered with reeds and lilly pads. The Eastern shore is the only one you can accesst the water without having to wade through reeds. There is quite a few algae blooms so swimming isn't an option. Overall, the view was nice but not spectacular. There are three decent campsites at the lake, popular with horse camps. The best of the three sites is the one on the Eastern bank, take the first trail you come accross before reaching the junction for sno-shoe lake. The second and third campsites are on the West bank and are a little harder to find...head for the clifs and you are there.... |
