Washington has many beautiful lakes and Fish Lake is one of them. Yep, outdoors amusing stuff truly is abundant here in the Northern Cascade Range. A lake nearby is Howard Lake, and a day on the slopes of White Pass is just what you need. There's whitewater on Tieton River - South Fork for all you adrenaline kick people; there is a nice hiking trail nearby called the Bear Creek Mountain Trail. This lake is so wonderful. If you're here at Fish Lake, you could

| | take a look at Howard Lake Stream, as expected you could also check out Gertrude Lake if you're here; it's not far at all. Going for a hike on the Tieton Meadows Trail is always a good adventure, and there are some great whitewater spots on Cispus River. This lake is so wonderful. If only every site had this much outdoors fun stuff, what a great planet it would be. If you like skiing, you're in luck; Crystal Mountain is near Fish Lake, and camping at Knuppenburg | |

Lake Campground is always a good experience. Fish Lake is a beautiful lake in the Northern Cascade Range. Summertime brings highs in the 70's to Fish Lake, and the nighttime is somewhat colder of course, regularly in the 50's.
The winter comes with highs in the 40's, and after the sun is down during the winter temperatures at Fish Lake plunge into the 20's. If you want a good time in the great outdoors just come on up to the Northern Cascade Range. There
are pleasant spots to discover along the Shoe Lake Trail, and Fish Lake is fine enough to spend more than a day at, Soda Spring Campground is a fine local campground. Fish Lake sees pretty high levels of rainfall; the month of January is the wettest with most of the rain while July is the month with the least amount of precipitation.

Bench Lake
 | 10 miles away 1 PHOTO This is Bench Lake in the Bird Creek area of Mt. Adams, Washington. This is located on the Yakama Reservation portion of land called Tract D which was Treaty land deeded back to the tribes in 1973. Mt. Adams plays peekaboo here with Little Mt. Adams.
The ranger of this area, Richard Canapo, stays in a trailer up the hill at the entrance by Mirror Lake and is a good source of local information as well as maps of the trails in the area. Permits are as follows:
Entry permit... $5. 00 for a 5 day entry fee
Camping and fishing permits are in addition to entry fees and are:
Camping... $10. 00 per night per space Fishing ... $5. 00 per day or $10. 00 for 5 days
You can have up to 12 pieces of split firewood per night of camping.
I should add that the road in to this lake is a bit rough and rocky, a narrow dirt road. Be cautious watching for other traffic, and I would not take an extremely low car in here. Last trip someone put a hole in a crankcase of a PT Cruiser... This can be avoided by careful driving! ... |

Sand Ridge Trail
 | 16 miles away 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.... |
