Racetrack Lake is a great lake in an area with lots of outdoors fun all around. All through the summer months, highs generally are in the 80's at Racetrack Lake. For the duration of the dark hours of summer temperatures plunge down into the 50's. The wintertime comes with highs in the 40's with temperatures at Racetrack Lake dipping down into the 30's through winter nights. Sauvie Island Dam is an attention-grabbing thing to check out. Racetrack Lake really
| | | |
| | is in the middle of a delightful outdoors paradise. If you're a golfer then a glorious nearby course is Pine Crest Golf Course, and why not a little side trip to Dairy Creek.
Paddling on Lewis River - East Fork is so much fun, and Petes Slough Reservoir is a glorious lake close by. If you need a location to stay La Quinta Inn & Suites Vancouver is a fine choice, and you can hit the beach if you want, Lyons Beach is practically right here. This lake is so | |

wonderful. Swamps like Petes Slough close to Racetrack Lake make for splendid spots to explore, and lakes are such peaceful places, why not go to Gay Lake.
This lake is so wonderful. If you're popping by Racetrack Lake from Portland-Vancouver-Beaverton,
you won't be the only one, and whitewater paddling is good on Kalama River. Camping at Reeder Beach RV Park is always a splendid experience, and after a long day outdoors Best Western Oak Meadows Inn is a wonderful place to spend
a night or two. You are in close proximity to Horseshoe Island while you're here at Racetrack Lake; if you came to camp Sauvie Cove Store and RV Park is a tremendous spot to do that.
The high level of rainfall makes Racetrack Lake a rather wet place; December is the wettest month with most rain, and July is when it's the driest.

Lewis River - East Fork

*WARNING* Lewisville Pk to DayBreak on July 2, 2009. Water very low and very rocky using tubes and raft. Had to get out often and dislodge from rocks or walk over river rock. Had to walk from 1/4 sign to Daybreak all the way out and was VERY UNHAPPY. Walk was actually about a mile to parking area over river rock and then very narrow trail. Trails not marked if you have to get out and walk because water was TOO low (only a few inches deep). Would have appreciated uptodate info at booth at Lewisville entrance. Was told rafting was fine to Daybreak. Trip took 5.5 hours and was told it would take 2.5.... |

Timothy Lake

Don't Go all the way to wilsonville for a hotel. if you head in towards portland on the 26, there are plenty of hotels from government camp to welches. Personally if you're going to a lake in the mountains you should be CAMPING. And there are plenty of sites to do so, both reserved and not. There are great hiking trails and it's also full of fish and crawdads. Boating is a must if possible.... |
