     Throughout the months of summer highs here at Don Lake reach the 70's. When the night sets in temperatures descend down into the 50's. The winter comes with highs in the 40's; overnight lows through the winter for Don Lake tend to be in the 30's. Don't you try to stop me, cause I'm havin' a glorious time here at Don Lake. Whitewater paddling is delightful on Breitenbush River, and Hoodoo has brilliant slopes and a friendly staff. Don Lake frequently gets a  
   great deal of precipitation; during the month of December you get the most rain around here, and July is when it's the driest.
Man, is there a heap of amusing stuff to do in the Central Cascade Range. The Straight Creek Cat Trail offers hiking at its best. Lakes? Sure, Parish Lake is in close proximity. This lake is so wonderful. You'll need more than a day to discover everything Don Lake has to offer, you can camp at Tombstone Prairie Campground. Take a hike
 
               on the Gordan Peak Trail; dry warm beds await you at Lodge at Suttle Lake.
So much entertaining stuff to do here in the Central Cascade Range, too brilliant to be true. In case you don’t have a problem getting dripping wet, you can always go whitewater paddling on Santiam River - North, and not far from Don Lake you'll hit upon Riggs Lake which is a wonderful lake. Why not stop at close by Scar Creek since you're here at Don Lake; why not take a refreshing hike along the Pyramid Trail. This lake is located in the wonderful Central Cascade Range.
This lake is so wonderful. The panorama of Scar Mountain from Don Lake is pretty. There's so much to do here at Don Lake that you need to camp here for a while, Country Star Recreational Vehicle Park is a nice place for that.
