This lake is located in the wonderful Central Cascade Range. All year is a great time in the Central Cascade Range if you love the outdoors. There are some great whitewater spots on Marion Creek, and there is a delightful hiking trail nearby called the Pacific Crest Trail - section 22. Horseshoe Lake is a rather wet place usually with a great deal of precipitation; of all the months in a year December is the one with the most rain; July is when it's the driest.

| | Life's too short to enjoy all the amusing things in the Central Cascade Range. Why not camp at Lemiti Campground while you're here at Horseshoe Lake, and a beautiful lake like Gibson Lake is a magnificent location to have a look at. This lake is so wonderful. Whitewater paddling is not for everybody but if it's for you then we recommend Collawash River; Kuckup Park is a wonderful place here at Horseshoe Lake. Campbell Butte is a peak you can distinguish from | |

Horseshoe Lake, and do stop at Breitenbush Lake, it's a striking lake.
This lake is so wonderful. The Cub Creek Trail is a brilliant hiking trail near Horseshoe Lake. After a long day outdoors Lodge at Suttle Lake is a perfect
place to spend a night or two, and going for a hike on the Fish Lake Trail is always a fine adventure. If only every location had this much outdoors amusing stuff, what a great earth it would be. A good place to camp here at Horseshoe
Lake is Trout Lake Campground; there's no such thing as a bad day of skiing at nearby Hoodoo.

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!... |
