This lake is so wonderful. You get a great panorama of Campbell Butte from Lake Hilda. Not sufficient hours in a day to enjoy this site. The Cub Creek Trail offers hiking at its best, and if you came for an overnight stay Lemiti Campground is a great place to camp. There's no way someone can get bored here in the Central Cascade Range. Lodge at Suttle Lake is a great spot to get some rest, and why not take a refreshing hike along the South Breitenbush Trail.

| | This lake is one of the great places here in the Central Cascade Range. Take a hike on the Jefferson Creek Trail, and the skiing at Hoodoo is pleasant. So much exciting stuff to do in the Central Cascade Range, not enough time. Places like Kuckup Park are great to explore; why not camp at Trout Lake Campground while you're here at Lake Hilda.
This lake is so wonderful. You'll locate a pretty lake called Papoose Lakes near Lake Hilda, and get yourself into a | |

This peak is trailless, meaning a portion or all of the route up the mountain is via an unmarked trail. For this particular mountain, the typical route is known as a ''herd path'' which is not much more than a worn, but unmarked trail. Some of the herd paths are easy to follow, others are not. In many instances the hiker will travel down a false herd path and eventually have to correct his/her course via backtracking. For these particular mountains, it is imperative that the hiker carry a compass (and know how to use it) and topographic map.... |
Jefferson Lake Trail
| I just completed this trail with my German Shepherd and had a great time. We made Jefferson Lake in 4 hours, stayed the night and returned at a faster pace, making the trailhead in 3 hours. A big portion of the trail is overgrown with 5ft. tall plant life, making the trail impossible to see. I used a compass to stay on course and bushwhack for about 3 miles, then picked up the trail again. It's obvious this trail hasn't received any attention from the forest service for some time now,so plan on using your nav skills on this one. We encountered a braver-than-average black bear while encamped at Jefferson Lake, and had difficulty finding a suitable place to hang a bear bag since all the trees are limbless due to a forest fire. My dog, Sigg, is a good bear deterrant and took the night shift guarding the food bag. If you are considering this trail, start early enough so you're not walking in the dark and bring some good jungle juice (deet). Bear bells may be useful as well. Hope this helps somebody!... |
