   Lake sees pretty high levels of rainfall; throughout December this area sees the most rain while July is the month with the least amount of precipitation. Man, is there a lot of enjoyable things to do close to Surprise Lake. Surprise Lake is magnificent enough to spend more than a day at, Lemiti Campground is a magnificent local campground; Surprise Lake is not the only location nearby, Si Lake is a nearby lake. This lake is so wonderful. Soar down the rapids  
               of Marion Creek in a kayak, and it's a glorious idea to go to Bump Creek.
A lake close by is Fish Lake; don't leave Surprise Lake without first going for a hike along the Wolf Spring Trail. Get yourself into a kayak and hit Clackamas River, and what would winter be without some skiing at Hoodoo. High temperatures at Surprise Lake during the warmest time of the year are in the 70's; throughout summer nights temperatures are in the 50's. High temperatures all through the winter are normally in the 40's while the cold winter nights at Surprise Lake are in the 30's.
This lake is so wonderful. Camping at Trout Lake Campground is always a wonderful experience.
