     There's whitewater on Cowlitz River for all you adrenaline junkies, and there are other places here than Elk Lake, for example Forest Lake. Roy's Motel and RV Park is a good local campground, and some of the water close by flows, like Coldwater Creek. Elk Lake is a wet site that gets a lot of rain; the wettest month of the year is ordinarily December, that's the one that rains the most, and the driest month of the year is July.

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.
