    Beautiful Dog Lake has much to offer visitors. This lake is so wonderful. Whitewater paddling is magnificent on Cowlitz River - Clear Fork, and Dog Lake is right by the Dark Meadows Trail. Lakes are good; Cramer Lake is a lake that's in close proximity to Dog Lake, and why not take a refreshing hike along the Cramer Lake Trail. This spot is so good, just explore all the cool stuff to do right next door to Dog Lake. Why not camp at Knuppenburg Lake Campground since  
   you're here at Dog Lake, and obviously, this is a good region for folks who like lakes, Dancing Lady Lake is a lake in the vicinity.
This lake is so wonderful. It's a perfect idea to pop by North Fork Clear Creek, it's in the vicinity of Dog Lake; you'll never forgive yourself if you don’t go skiing at Crystal Mountain while you're here. A great spot to camp here at Dog Lake is White Pass Campground, and hiking along the Hogback Trail is tremendous fun.
 
               Be careful coming to the Northern Cascade Range, you might not ever wanna go home again. If you need a spot to stay Suncadia Resort is a perfect choice; stunning scenery and splendid skiing is what you obtain at White Pass.
This lake is located in the wonderful Northern Cascade Range. At Dog Lake during the days of summer highs are in the 60's. Summer night lows plunge down to the 40's. For the period of the winter this place gets highs in the 30's, and nighttime lows at Dog Lake all through the wintertime typically descend into the 10's.
That right there is plenty of exciting things already but it goes on, the Northern Cascade Range has it all. Summit Creek has a glorious whitewater paddling spot nearby, and the panorama of Spiral Butte is picturesque. Dog Lake sees pretty high levels of precipitation; throughout January this area sees the most snow while July is frequently the driest month.

White Pass
...eathtaking Cascade Mountains, is a place blessed with abundant snowfall and unspoiled beauty.
It has a wide variety of terrain for all abilities, a ski school with programs for everyone and places to relax and enjoy good times after the day is over.
What really makes it special though, is the friendly, family-oriented atmosphere. It's what makes White Pass a ski and snowboard paradise.
The White Pass experience starts with a bountiful snowfall (350'' in an average season) and with the highest base elevation on the crest of the Washington Cascades.
The resort strikes a perfect balance between pulse quickening steeps, wide open cruisers and gentle learning areas with 33 percent of the terrain geared toward experts, 43 percent toward intermediates and 24 percent toward beginners.
Nothing gets you to the top faster than the Great White Express, Washington's only Doppelmayr high-speed detachable quad. Great White can take you from the base to the summit in five minutes.
White Pass is recognized as one of the greatest mountains to ride in the Northwest. Natural quarter-pi...

Sand Ridge Trail
The hike started out on the dry sandy rocky trail and with a slight grade up. After the 0.75 of a mile and 300 foot gain or so there was a fork; shortly after the you're ?entering the wilderness? sign, trail 1147, or Little Buck Trail is to the right. We haven't been on it, but it is suppose to be about a 0.9 of a mile and end up at the Indian Creek Trailhead and campground. After that fork Sand Ridge Trail, 1104, goes up for about 1 mile, and the foot gain for that mile is about 900 feet. According to the maps and the GPS we were using, the trail begins at about 3400 feet and goes to about 4600 feet. The last mile is like a standard up and down hike until the Shellrock Lake Trail junction, trail 1142 to the left, after that we don't know. Overall, for about the first 2 miles there is a 1200 foot gain in elevation, and then it evens out for a while. However, we had to turn around when we thought we were almost to the Shellrock Lake Trail junction due to a couple feet of snow pack and melt off....

Granite Lake
Granite Lake has crystal clear water, is surrounded by a very primtive campground. I don't recall how many campsites there are, but I have never been there when there was more than one other party. The surrounding area is incredibly beautiful, well worth the extremely rough road in. 4 wheel drive only. There is an abandoned copper mine in the area, and if you can find the trailhead, (good luck), the scenery is breathtaking. I've been to the mine 3 times. Watch out for bears! There is a ghost town below the copper mine. Very little is left. There are picnic tables, no water and no bathrooms. Come prepared....
