     At Nep-Te-Pa Lake through the warmest time of the year highs are in the 70's with overnight lows in the 50's. The wintertime brings highs down to the 40's; after the sun is down through the wintertime temperatures at Nep-Te-Pa Lake sink into the 30's. The Central Cascade Range scenery is always beautiful. Get dripping wet paddling on Collawash River, and you can stay the night at Lemiti Campground.
Man, is there plenty of enjoyable things to do in the Central
 
   Cascade Range. There's delightful hiking along the Blue Lake Camas Prairie Trail. Nep-Te-Pa Lake sees pretty high levels of rainfall; throughout the month of December you get the most rain around here, and July is the month with the least moisture. Not sufficient hours in a day to enjoy this location. Good hiking is available along the Cub Creek Trail, and from Nep-Te-Pa Lake you get a splendid vista of Campbell Butte.
This lake is so wonderful. Paddling
 
               on Marion Creek is so much fun, and Nep-Te-Pa Lake is a good place to visit for more than one day, Trout Lake Campground is a good place to camp nearby. You just must go for the Central Cascade Range. Go for a hike on the Pacific Crest Trail - section 22, and do explore Mangriff Lake, it's a picturesque lake. A picturesque lake like Long Lake in close proximity to Nep-Te-Pa Lake is a pleasant spot to go to, and if you like skiing, you're in luck; Hoodoo is quite near.

Pacific Crest Trail - section 22
Roundtrip Distance 13.7 miles
Elevation Gain 2,348 ft.
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!...
