     Colchuck Lake is located in the Northern Cascade Range. The high level of rain makes Colchuck Lake a pretty wet location; January is when you get the most snow here, and July meanwhile is the driest month. Paddling on Icicle Creek is so much fun; a great close by hotel is Quality Inn & Suites.
Stay the night at Eightmile Lake Campground, and float down the rapids of Icicle Creek in a kayak. And if that's not sufficient there's a lot more cool things to
 
   do in the Northern Cascade Range. Go for a hike on the Miller Peak Trail, and at Colchuck Lake you can catch a sight of Colchuck Peak. This lake is so wonderful. At Colchuck Lake you always meet someone from Ellensburg, and Colchuck Glacier is something you shouldn't miss while you're here.
Now, you may feel that's a load but there's even more amusing things to do here in the Northern Cascade Range. If you need a place to stay Best Western Icicle Inn is a
 
               perfect choice; you can take a little spree to Colchuck Lake Dam if you're here at Colchuck Lake. This lake is so wonderful. Going for a hike on the Icicle Trail is always a magnificent adventure, and if you've had enough of Colchuck Lake, Tranquil Lake is nearby.

Toketie Lake
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....

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....
