     Forest Lake is a nice lake to visit. If you came to camp Roy's Motel and RV Park is a delightful place to do that, and brilliant hiking is available along the Fawn Lake Trail. Not enough hours in a day to enjoy this site. Whitewater paddling is not for everyone but if it's for you then we recommend Cowlitz River, and camping at Quartz Creek Big Trees Campground is always a wonderful experience. Just can't get enough of the Northern Cascade Range. Get your heart  
   beating on the good whitewater of Hoffstadt Creek, and obviously, this is a pleasant vicinity for people who like lakes, Elk Lake is a lake close by.
This lake is so wonderful. Elk Prairie is a good place, and hiking is a popular thing to do around Forest Lake; Coldwater Trail is a great local trail. This lake is so wonderful. This lake is one of the great places here in the Northern Cascade Range.
Forest Lake sees pretty high levels of precipitation;
 
               of all the months in a year December is the one with the most rain; July meanwhile is the driest month. Visiting Mount Rainier National Park is just something you need to do if you haven't yet; don't forget to take a great little tour to Coldwater Creek. And that's not all the things you can do here in the Northern Cascade Range. Since you might be in a lake visiting mood you can always check out nearby Hanaford Lake, and why not take a refreshing hike along the Toutle River Trail.

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.
