     There's just no way anybody can get bored here at Bear Lake. Lakes? Sure, Tiny Lake is around here; whitewater paddling is not for everybody but if it's for you then, we recommend Stetattle Creek. While you're here at Bear Lake you can take a hike along the Pyramid Lake Trail; a visit to Lake Chelan National Recreation Area is recommended. And if that's not enough there's loads more entertaining stuff to do in the Northern Cascade Range.
Just can't get enough
 
   of the Northern Cascade Range. Group Campground is a glorious local campground, and since you might be in a lake visiting mood you can always visit nearby East Lakes. Bear Lake is a beautiful lake in the Northern Cascade Range. The high level of rain makes Bear Lake a relatively wet place; through December this area sees the most rain, and the driest month of the year is July.
Get your heart beating on the great whitewater of Skagit River, and if the weather
 
               is great, you can go for a hike along the Sourdough Lookout Trail. Summertime brings highs in the 70's to Bear Lake. When the night sets in temperatures fall down into the 50's. All through the wintertime highs are generally in the 30's; winter nights come with lows in the 30's to Bear Lake. This lake is so wonderful. From Bear Lake you acquire a brilliant view of Mount Redoubt, and Bear Lake is a brilliant place to visit for more than one day, Goodell Campground is a brilliant place to camp nearby.

Cascade River

Did this section July 21, 2007 in a tandem canoe, at about 1850. Had never done this section before. The description above seems accurate. Several large log jams, some completely blocking the river, forcing us to take some long and rough portages through thick brush and over huge piles of logs. Even when the river is not blocked, there are serious strainers at every bend. You really have to be alert to avoid them. A lot of work and danger for the few fun class II rapids you get within the first mile or so. We spent nearly three hours on portages and scouting and only about one hour actually on the water. Not recommended....
