Whohoo, so much exciting stuff in one place! The Central Cascade Range is unbeatable! If you came to camp Skookum Lake Campground is a tremendous place to do that, and whitewater paddling is not for everyone but if it's for you then, we recommend Collawash River. And that's not all you can do here at Welcome Lakes. Getting to Battle Creek from Welcome Lakes is easy, and don't leave Welcome Lakes without first going for a hike along the       Mother Lode Trail. A great close by hotel is Whispering Woods (Vri), and you can go for a hike on the Elk Lake Trail. There are good spots to discover along the Welcome Lakes Trail, and you'll stumble on a lovely lake called West Lake. This lake is so wonderful. On a lovely day you obtain a panorama of Big Slide Mountain from Welcome Lakes, and there's whitewater on Collawash River for all you adrenaline junkies. The Central Cascade Range scenery                  is always beautiful.
