You just can't picture the amount of outdoors entertaining things the Central Cascade Range has to offer. Whitewater paddling is not for everybody but if it's for you then we recommend Clackamas River, and not far from Skookum Lake you'll find Lily Pad Lake which is a beautiful lake. On a great day at Skookum Lake you can take a hike along the East Mountain Trail, and if you came to camp Pelton Park is a fine spot to do that. After a long day outdoors Best Western Sandy Inn is a delightful location to spend a night or two, and one of the major highlights of the surroundings of Skookum Lake is East Mountain.
Skookum Lake gets much water; most of the rain falls through December while July is the month with the least amount of precipitation.
