   you're here; it's not far at all. This lake is so wonderful. What would winter be without some skiing at Mt. Hood Ski Bowl, and if you need a place to stay Resort at the Mountain is a tremendous choice.
This lake is so wonderful. Cougar Creek is a tremendous place to go to, and in all probability you're looking for nearby lakes? Sure, Lower Rock Lake is just a very short distance away. Going for a hike on the Coffman Camp Trail is always a good adventure;
 
               if you don’t have a problem getting soaked, you can always go whitewater paddling on Sandy River. After a long day outdoors Whispering Woods (Vri) is a great location to spend a night or two.
