So much enjoyable stuff in the Coast Ranges, just impressive. Go for a hike on the Chetco Peak Trail, and in case you don’t have a problem getting dripping wet, you can always go whitewater paddling on Illinois River. And that's not everything there is to do here in the Coast | |

Ranges. Vulcan Lake is tremendous enough to spend more than a day at, Alfred A. Loeb is a tremendous local campground, and there are other spots here than Vulcan Lake, for example Lish Lake. Vulcan Lake gets lots of water; the
wettest month of the year is frequently December, that's the one that rains the most while July is the month with the least amount of precipitation. Good hiking is available along the Upper Chetco Trail, and camping at Meadow Creek
Campground is always a good experience. This lake is so wonderful. Life's too short to enjoy all the fun stuff in the neighborhood of Vulcan Lake. Whitewater paddling is splendid on Smith River - North Fork, and Little Vulcan Lake is a perfect lake nearby.
