     Hiking is a popular thing to do around Dennis Lake; Elk Creek Trail is a brilliant local trail, and if you get bored of Dennis Lake you could also go to close by Lindick Lake. Dennis Lake sees pretty high levels of rainfall; during the month of December you get the most rain around here while July is regularly the driest month. All the outdoors amusing stuff in the Central Cascade Range will keep you coming back over and over. The skiing at Mt. Bachelor is good,  
   and get your pulse rate up on the wonderful whitewater of Horse Creek.
This lake is so wonderful. A day on the slopes of Willamette Pass is just what you need. You just can't envision the amount of outdoors amusing stuff the area close to Dennis Lake has to offer. There's so much to do here at Dennis Lake that you need to camp here for a while, East Lake Resort and RV Parks is a great place for that; a pleasant tour to Cougar Flat is a great way to spend an
 
               afternoon. The Central Cascade Range scenery is always beautiful.
Good hiking is available along the Lakeside Trail, and on a delightful day you obtain a perfect view of Irish Mountain from Dennis Lake. The warmest time of the year at Dennis Lake arrives with high temperatures in the 80's. When the night sets in temperatures plunge down into the 40's. High temperatures throughout the wintertime are normally in the 40's with temperatures at Dennis Lake dipping down into the 20's throughout winter nights. This lake is so wonderful. Go for a hike on the Packsaddle Mountain Trail, and Blaze Lake is a nearby lake that you could stop by.
Yeah, come up here to the Central Cascade Range for a great time. You'll need more than a day to look at everything Dennis Lake has to offer, you can camp at Twin Springs Campground, and you can run the rapids of McKenzie River - South Fork.

Winopee Lake
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....

Davis Lake
14 miles away
This website needs updating. I was there on Aug. 2nd,3rd, and 4th 2007. There are a LOT of bass there. We saw NO trout at all, and no one we talked to had caught or seen one. I was there with 2 others for bass fishing. there is no camping at the west boat launch area. Day use only. There are 2 camp sites on the east side. The Lava Flow site is closed, and has been for some time. There is a primative site there. No water or elec. and very primative boat launching area. You have to pole or row through the tules to get out on the lake. The old campground is closed because of Eagles nest there. Eagles are no longer on the endangerd spieces list. Why not re-open that area. it has a great boat ramp. Bass fishing was great, but not many large fish when we were there. Lots of smaller bass. We were told it was real good in late June and first half of July. We will try again next year....
