Man, is there a lot of cool things to do in the Central Cascade Range. The sight of Waldo Mountain from Elbow Lake is striking, and the Crain Prairie Trail is a glorious hiking trail close by. The high level of precipitation makes Elbow Lake a relatively wet place; the month of December is the wettest with most of the rain, and the driest month is July. Through the summertime here at Elbow Lake, high temperatures commonly reach the 80's. Through the moonlight

Winopee Lake
 | 13 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.... |
Little Cultus Lake
 | 14 miles away One of the best of the best small lakes i have fished, out of bend ore. Great family lake.... |
Davis Lake
 | 17 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.... |
