   Canyon.
This lake is so wonderful. After a long day outdoors Skamania Lodge is a brilliant place to spend a night or two, and nearby you hit upon the Smith Creek Butte Trail which is a delightful hiking trail. The panorama of Smith Creek Butte from Bear Lake is stunning; if you came for an overnight stay Curly Creek Campground is a delightful location to camp. All through the summertime months at Bear Lake temperatures are generally in the 70's. When the
 
               night sets in temperatures descend down into the 40's. Through the winter this place gets highs in the 40's while the cold winter nights at Bear Lake are in the 30's.
The Northern Cascade Range scenery is always beautiful. If you adore the outdoors you'll adore it here in the Northern Cascade Range. Muddy River has a good whitewater paddling spot nearby; going for a hike on the Bean Creek Trail is always a pleasant adventure. Bear Lake is a pretty wet place generally with a great deal of precipitation; the month with most of the rain is December, and the driest of the months is July.
If you love the outdoors, you'll adore Bear Lake. A striking lake like Crane Lake right next door to Bear Lake is a pleasant place to take a look at, and why not camp at Swift Forest Campground since you're here at Bear Lake.

McBride Lake
13 miles away
2/3 of the lake is gone. Kalama River now flows right thru the middle of what used to be the lake. It is amazing to see. The 8100 road is washed out at mile 11 so plan on a 2 mile walk....McBride Lake is no longer in existance. Though I will have this confirmed on July 23, 2008. It is my understanding that during the 2007/2008 winter, a massive land slide occurred which filled the lake. McBride was once a great lake to catch and release fish throughout the day....McBride Lake is no longer in existance. Though I will have this confirmed on July 23, 2008.
