to Fern Lake will keep you coming back many times. A short trip to The (historical) Cascades is always worthwhile, and if the weather is pleasant, you can go for a hike along the Tanner Cutoff Trail. This lake is so wonderful.
On a pleasant day at Fern Lake you can take a hike along the Tanner Butte Trail, and get yourself into a kayak and hit Panther Creek. Summertime highs at Fern Lake typically tend to be in the 70's. When the night sets in temperatures
descend down into the 50's. All through the winter the highs are commonly in the 40's while the cold winter nights at Fern Lake are in the 30's. This lake is so wonderful. Camping is available at Marine Park and Campground; why
not spend some time golfing at a close by golf course like Beacon Rock Golf Course. All the water falling down from the sky makes Fern Lake a wet place; the month of December is the wettest with most of the rain; July is the month
with the least moisture. Wauna Point is near Fern Lake and is a good place to visit; dry warm beds await you at Best Western Columbia River Inn.

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).

Pacific Crest Trail - section 23
 | 11 miles away 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.... |
