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.
