At Joyce Lake you can see Nohorn Butte, and not far from Joyce Lake you'll come across Cougar Lake which is a pretty lake.
And if that's not sufficient, there's a heap more to do near Joyce Lake. Why not take a refreshing hike along
 
   the Baty Silver King Trail, and get yourself into a kayak and hit Clackamas River - South Fork. These mountains rock, just look at all the exciting stuff to do in the Central Cascade Range. If you need a location to stay Best Western Sandy Inn is a nice choice. This lake is so wonderful. Joyce Lake is nice enough to spend more than a day at, B and B Rentals is a nice local campground, and glide down the rapids of Elkhorn Creek in a kayak.

               High Camp Trail. There's so much to do here at Joyce Lake that you need to camp here for a while, Skookum Lake Campground is a nice spot for that.
