     For the duration of the summer highs here at Crescent Lake get into the 70's. When the night sets in temperatures plunge down into the 50's. The wintertime brings highs down to the 40's while Crescent Lake night low temperatures through the wintertime are in the 30's. And that's not all you can do here at Crescent Lake. Lakes are great; Gillette Lake is a lake that's next to Crescent Lake; get your heart pumping on the great whitewater of Rock Creek - Columbia  
   River Tributary. This lake is so wonderful. It's always perfect to check out Moffetts Hot Springs, and if you need a spot to stay Skamania Lodge is a fine choice.
If you want to play some golf, you're in luck because Beacon Rock Golf Course is in close proximity. You'll need more than a day to explore everything Crescent Lake has to offer, you can camp at Lewis and Clark RV Park. Crescent Lake is a beautiful lake in the Northern Cascade Range. There's some
 
               flowing water close by, Greenleaf Creek is a stream you can explore during your stay, and why not pop by Little Brush Lake Dam if you're here.
All the water falling down from the sky makes Crescent Lake a wet spot; during the month of December you get the most rain around here while July is commonly the driest month. That right there is plenty already, but it keeps on going; Crescent Lake has it all. That right there is loads of exciting things already but it goes on, the Northern Cascade Range has it all. Red Bluffs is something you shouldn't miss if you're here at Crescent Lake, and whitewater paddling is not for everybody but if it's for you then, we recommend Trout Creek.
This lake is so wonderful. A perfect close by hotel is Best Western Columbia River Inn, and the Tanner Butte Trail offers hiking at its best. Be careful coming to the Northern Cascade Range, you might not ever wanna return home again. Crescent Lake is a glorious spot to visit for more than one day, Dolce Skamania Lodge is a glorious spot to camp nearby; hiking is a popular thing to do around Crescent Lake; Tanner Cutoff Trail is a brilliant local trail. You're probably hooked on lakes, Little Blue Lake is one of those close by; Crescent Lake is right by the Rock Creek Trail.

It's nice....

Little Ashes Lake
Since the previous post was negative, I was skeptical about fishing there. I sent a couple of hours fishing there at one of the few access spots to see how it fished. I was fortunate enough to land a trout about 27 inches long. Not to bad for a couple hours. Caught using a rooster tail spinner. Gotta give it a try....Little Ashes lake is a medium sized spillway from the Columbia River. There is not much public access to the lake. The lake is boundaried on the southwest side by Highway 14. and all the rest is Private property. No way to launch a boat, but I have float tubed it. There are no trails to hike around this lake. You won't want to swim in it since it is columbia river water. The fishing is unproductive as i fished it and never caught a single bass or trout, only sucker fish and perch. My advice is to just enjoy the sight of this lake, but venturing into it is a waste of time....

Wind River
Hello,

Anybody who puts-in where the road map link on the webpage indicates and expects to find class IV-V water is going to be disappointed. The put-in is on the right bank slightly downstream of where the map shows the take-out (basically, at Stabler) and the take-out is on the right bank a half-mile or so above High Bridge (where the red line crosses the river on the map).

Regards,
Will...
Hello,

I run this section of the Wind regularly and I have never heard anybody refer to it as Ranger Station Close to Stabler to High Bridge. It's common names are Stabler to High Bridge and the Upper Wind. The putin is much closer to Stabler than to the Ranger Station near Stabler (which is actually closer to the put-in on Trout Creek).

Regards,
Will...

Roundtrip Distance 16 miles
Elevation Gain 2,620 ft.
This peak is trailless, meaning a portion or all of the route up the mountain is via an unmarked trail. For this particular mountain, the typical route is known as a ''herd path'' which is not much more than a worn, but unmarked trail. Some of the herd paths are easy to follow, others are not. In many instances the hiker will travel down a false herd path and eventually have to correct his/her course via backtracking. For these particular mountains, it is imperative that the hiker carry a compass (and know how to use it) and topographic map....
