Blue Lake is located in the Northern Cascade Range. Man, is there lots of entertaining things to do in the Northern Cascade Range. Camping at Beaver Bay Campground is always a good experience; get your heart pumping on the good whitewater of Siouxon Creek. Not sufficient hours in a day to enjoy this place.

A spree to Blue Lake wouldn't be complete without taking a look at Kalama Spring, and why not check out a swamp like Goat Marsh if you're here at Blue Lake. A wonderful site for whitewater paddling next to Blue Lake is Canyon Creek - Lewis River Tributary; Blue Lake is great enough to spend more than a day at, Merrill Lake Campground is a great local campground.

McBride Lake
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.
