     This lake is so wonderful. Have a magnificent hiking adventure along the Old Baldy Trail; if you came to camp Frazier Fork Campground is a magnificent location to do that. You just can't imagine the amount of outdoors cool stuff the Central Cascade Range has to offer. If you need a place to stay Resort at the Mountain is a glorious choice, and there are other locations here than Plaza Lake, for example Salmon Lake. Everybody close by loves skiing at Timberline  
   Lodge.
Whohoo, so much exciting stuff in one place! The Central Cascade Range rocks! Mt. Hood Ski Bowl is a wonderful local ski area, and dry warm beds await you at Whispering Woods (Vri). Plaza Lake is a pretty wet place frequently with a lot of rainfall; the month of December is the wettest with most of the rain, and July is the month with the least moisture. Paddling on Clackamas River - Oak Grove Fork is so much fun, and if you're looking for some flowing
 
               water? Try Plaza Creek.
