If you need a place to stay Whispering Woods (Vri) is a splendid choice. Why not take a refreshing hike along the Dry Ridge Trail, and float down the rapids of Roaring River in a kayak. Life's too short to enjoy all the cool things near Surprise Lake. Have a delightful hiking adventure along the Cold Spring

All the water falling down from the sky makes Surprise Lake a wet location; through the month of December you get the most rain around here; the driest month of the year is July. Surprise Lake is a beautiful lake in the Central Cascade Range. This lake is so wonderful. Paddling on Clackamas River is so much fun, and after a long day outdoors Resort at the Mountain is a splendid spot to spend a night or two.
Do set aside some time for Nowhere Meadow if you're here at Surprise Lake, and of course Big Creek is a lovely stream that is worth stopping at. But wait, there's more entertaining stuff to do in the Central Cascade Range. Swamps are attention-grabbing locations and Wards Meadow next to Surprise Lake is no exception, and not far from Surprise Lake you'll discover Serene Lake which is a scenic lake.
