There's so much to do here at Carter Lake that you need to camp here for a while, Ida Creek Campground is  
   a pleasant place for that, and if you need a spot to stay Best Western Icicle Inn is a great choice.
What a spot this is for outdoors people. Carter Lake is pleasant enough to spend more than a day at, Johnny Creek Campground is a pleasant local campground, and since you might be in a lake visiting mood you can always take a look at close by Lake Ida. The Northern Cascade Range scenery is always beautiful. The high level of precipitation makes Carter Lake
 
               a quite wet site; most of the snow falls all through January; the driest of the months is July.
So much amusing stuff to do here in the Northern Cascade Range, too glorious to be true. A tremendous close by hotel is Quality Inn & Suites, and there is a great hiking trail nearby called the Snow Lakes Trail. Man, is there heaps of fun stuff to do in the Northern Cascade Range. The County Line Trail is a pleasant hiking trail in the neighborhood of Carter Lake. Lakes? Sure, Lake Augusta is close by. If the weather is wonderful here at Carter Lake, you can go for a hike along the Icicle Trail, and do go to Doctor Creek since you're here at Carter Lake.
Icicle Creek is a great whitewater spot near Carter Lake, and you ought to beyond doubt dedicate some time to Timothy Meadow if you're here at Carter Lake.

Tumwater is my favorite campground. I have been to so many because I am a WA native. There are many sites that sit on the river or creek. The grounds are beautiful and plenty close to Leavenworth....

Toketie Lake
10 miles away
I liked the little lake.  I went straight up the canyon side from the last place the Snow Lakes trail comes near the creek, a little above the gully that comes down from Toketie.  There is a puzzle at the top where the gully turns south 1/4 M from the lake.  I climbed a small cliff there, could find no other way.  The lake was pretty. Total distance about 3 miles one way....This is hystericcal. <.....> The short route is 7 or so miles and a 4000ft+ of elevation gain on a ''trail'' that is a more of a climbers path that most climbers avoid. Rat Creek is a season creek that drops 6000ft in 2 miles though loose overgrown terrain. The area is incredibly beutiful but take my advice and stay on maintained trails unless you know what your doing....

Napeequa Crossing Campground
12 miles away
Well, most of the information in this little blurb is wrong: The nearest Metro area is not Ellensburg, it is Leavenworth. Lake Elsley? I have never heard of it, and have been in the area for 30 years. There is no such place called Indian Ponds anywhere around the campground. Though a beautiful hike, Napeequa Crossing to Twin Lakes is not an easy stroll, it is approximately 3.2+ miles one way, with many switchbacks, and to the average city person, a hard slog. This Article makes it sound like White river falls are on the way to Twin Lakes, which they are not. They are reached by driving on up the valley 5 more miles or so to the correct turnout. Also, it should be mentioned that from the beginning of camping season till Mid August, you should slather yourself in Bug repellant to keep from being eaten alive by Mosquitoes. The campground is located on the confluence of the White and Napeequa Rivers, which flow into Lake Wenatchee....

Tucquala Lake

This ''Lake'' Is Beautiful. It really isn't a lake at all, in the summer it is a widening of the river. Very slow moving river, more like a slough, it is very clean, clear, and cold, mountain runoff. The fishing is excellent from a small boat or float tube, although the current can be somewhat strong. I fly fished, using a #14 Adams, and caught 11 rainbow and cutthroat trout between 6 & 11'', in the early to mid evening. This was in July of 2008. Camping was good, small sites along the main road. Keep your food in the cars though as Bears are definitely out....
