    In Oregon there are many beautiful lakes, Sparks Lake is one of them. This lake is located in the wonderful Central Cascade Range. This lake is so wonderful. If you need a place to stay Best Western Ponderosa Lodge is a delightful choice, and Hoodoo is a wonderful local ski area. Not sufficient hours in a day to enjoy this site. Lodge at Suttle Lake is a glorious place to get some rest, and whitewater paddling is good on Deschutes River.
Having a good time
 
   in the Central Cascade Range is uncomplicated. The summit of Devils Hill can be observed from Sparks Lake; why not take a refreshing hike along the Quinn Creek Trail. Summertime highs at Sparks Lake generally tend to be in the 70's. For the period of the dark hours of summer temperatures sink down into the 40's. Throughout the wintertime the highs are mostly in the 30's while the cold winter nights at Sparks Lake are in the 10's. Take a hike on the Moraine Lake  
               Trail.
This lake is so wonderful. Why not camp at East Lake Resort and RV Parks while you're here at Sparks Lake; a lake close by is Hosmer Lake. Upper Campground is a great local campground, and the Mud Lake Trail offers hiking at its best. All the water falling down from the sky makes Sparks Lake a wet spot; the month of December is the wettest with most of the snow, and the driest month of the year is July.
You just can't envision the amount of outdoors exciting stuff the Central Cascade Range has to offer. You could also have a look at Elk Lake while you're here at Sparks Lake; it's close by, and in case you don’t have a problem getting dripping wet, you can always go whitewater paddling on Squaw Creek. The skiing at Mt. Bachelor is brilliant, and some of the water close by flows, like Fall Creek.
