    Why not stop by Fern Lake if you're passing through these parts. Fern Lake is a relatively wet place typically with a lot of rain; December is when you get the most rain here, and July meanwhile is the driest month. Wauna Point is right next door to Fern Lake and is a wonderful spot to visit, and there is a great hiking trail close by called the Tanner Cutoff Trail. You can take a little spree to Bonneville Dam while you're here at Fern Lake, and you're most  
   likely keen on lakes, Black Lake is one of those nearby.
Life's too short to enjoy all the amusing things in the Northern Cascade Range. Nearby lakes? Sure, Hazel Lake is in the neighborhood of Fern Lake, and going for a hike on the Tanner Butte Trail is always a perfect adventure. This lake is so wonderful. There's whitewater on Trout Creek for all you adrenaline people, and enjoy a round of golf at Beacon Rock Golf Course. All year is a nice time in
 
               the Northern Cascade Range if you love the outdoors. Get your heart pumping on the splendid whitewater of Panther Creek, and getting to Eagle Creek from Fern Lake is painless.
This lake is so wonderful. Marine Park and Campground is a delightful local campground; if you need a location to stay Skamania Lodge is a splendid choice. What a place this is for outdoors people. A short visit to The (historical) Cascades is always worthwhile, and there are great spots to discover along the Eagle Creek Trail. Fern Lake is a great place to visit for more than one day, Dolce Skamania Lodge is a great place to camp nearby, and dry warm beds await you at Best Western Columbia River Inn.
Fern Lake beyond doubt is in the middle of a pretty outdoors paradise. Summertime brings highs in the 70's to Fern Lake with nighttime lows in the 50's. For the period of the winter this place gets highs in the 40's, and night lows in the 30's for Fern Lake. The Northern Cascade Range scenery is always beautiful.

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....

Kidney Lake
It's nice....

Herman Creek Trail
The Herman Creek Trail was constructed for foot access to the old site of a wartime lookout built to spot ballon bomb sent over by Japan. There were three cabins just past the cliff road and the end of the Herman Creek cut-off trail which statrted at seven and a half mile camp in what was once Cedder Swamp just below Mud Lake....

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...

Bighorn Campground

Have you been to the Bighorn campground site???While this is a beautiful pack-in, primitive site, it doesn't fit with your description. Before camping, take a hike on Nat. Forest Trail 742, without gear. After you've scoped the area, come back and stay. Even on Labor Day Weekend ('06) there were several campsites available in this dispersed camp area....
