    Summit Lake is a great lake in an area with lots of outdoors fun all around. Summit Lake is a wet spot that gets a lot of rain; through December this area sees the most rain, and July meanwhile is the driest month. This lake is so wonderful. If you come at the right time of year, Clackamas River offers some tremendous whitewater, and brilliant skiing awaits you at Mt. Hood Ski Bowl. These mountains rock, just explore all the exciting stuff to do in the Central  
   Cascade Range. Going for a hike on the Summit Lake Trail is always a good adventure, and there are some splendid whitewater spots on Clackamas River - Oak Grove Fork.
Go for a hike on the Fire Springs Trail, and why not camp at Lemiti Campground while you're here at Summit Lake. The Central Cascade Range scenery is always beautiful. You simply must love the Central Cascade Range. Dry warm beds await you at Whispering Woods (Vri); you'll find a stunning
 
               lake called Timothy Lake.
There's no such thing as a bad day of skiing at nearby Timberline Lodge. Summer brings highs in the 70's to Summit Lake while nighttime lows are generally in the 50's. Highs through the winter are mostly in the 40's, and after the sun is down throughout the wintertime temperatures at Summit Lake drop into the 30's. Having a great time at Summit Lake is uncomplicated. If you came for an overnight stay Hambone Springs Campground is a tremendous spot to camp; do have a look at Clackamas Lake, it's a scenic lake.
After a long day outdoors Mount Hood Inn is a wonderful place to spend a night or two, and you acquire a great view of Red Box from here. This lake is so wonderful. There are brilliant places to explore along the Skyline Alternate Trail, and a tour to Summit Lake wouldn't be complete without taking a look at Rock Spring.
