than a day to look at everything Park Lake has to offer, you can camp at Trout Lake Campground. This lake is so wonderful. Dinah-mo Peak can be observed from Park Lake, and Lodge at Suttle Lake is a fine place to get some rest.
All the water falling down from the sky makes Park Lake a wet location; of all the months in a year December is the one with the most rain while July is mostly the driest month. This lake is so wonderful. If you're here at Park Lake,
checking out Jefferson Park Glacier is a must, and in case you don’t have a problem getting covered with water, you can always go whitewater paddling on Collawash River. Don't leave Park Lake without first going for a hike along the
Jefferson Park Trail; Marion Creek is a delightful whitewater spot close by.
Dry warm beds await you at Best Western Ponderosa Lodge; Scout Lake is a wonderful lake nearby. Lakes? Sure, Rock Lake is nearby.

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!... |

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.... |
