Having a wonderful time at Hickman Lake is trouble-free. Swamps like Deer Meadows close to Hickman Lake make for brilliant places to explore; in case you don’t have a problem getting soaked, you can always go whitewater paddling on Sandy River. Now, you may imagine that's a lot but there's even more exciting stuff to do here in the Central Cascade Range. From Hickman Lake you obtain a delightful vista of Burnt Peak, and if you came to camp Mount Hood Village is a brilliant site to do that. Gotta ski! Timberline Lodge is a delightful spot to do that.

It's nice....

Little Ashes Lake
12 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....
