lake is so wonderful. Dry warm beds await you at Whispering Woods (Vri), and hiking is a popular thing to do around Shining Lake; Dry Ridge Trail is a good local trail. Summer at Shining Lake comes with high temperatures in the 70's,
and throughout the night it cools down to the 50's. Through the winter highs are in the 40's; nighttime lows in the 30's for Shining Lake. No way I can stop, cause I'm havin' a fine time here at Shining Lake. Whitewater paddling is
not for everybody but if it's for you then we recommend Clackamas River - Oak Grove Fork. Lakes are splendid; Squaw Lakes is a lake that's near Shining Lake.
Yeah, come up here to the Central Cascade Range for a great time. A
splendid place like Squaw Meadow here at Shining Lake is too perfect to miss; glorious hiking is available along the Roaring River Trail. Shining Lake regularly gets a lot of rainfall; December is when you get the most rain here;
the driest month is July. Stay the night at Shining Lake Campground, and a day on the slopes of Timberline Lodge is just what you need.
