| | nights. This place, Gehrke Lake, it simply has so much outdoors exciting stuff. For you golfers we recommend close by Nisqually Valley Golf Course; Inman Lake is a nice lake nearby.
So many entertaining things to do here in the Northern Cascade Range, too magnificent to be true. The nice folks of Olympia like to hang out nearby. There's so much to do here at Gehrke Lake that you need to camp here for a while, Martin way Mobile Home Park is a wonderful location | |

for that. While you're here at Gehrke Lake it's a tremendous idea to go to Ruth Prairie. Lakes? Sure, Lake Fifteen is close by. This lake is so wonderful. After a long day outdoors Holiday Inn Express OCEAN SHORES is a pleasant place
to spend a night or two, and whitewater paddling is not for everyone but if it's for you then, we recommend Nisqually River.
The high level of rainfall makes Gehrke Lake a reasonably wet place; the wettest month of the year is
mostly December, that's the one that rains the most, and the driest month of the year is July. This lake is located in the wonderful Northern Cascade Range. If you need a spot to stay Thornewood Castle Inn And Gardens is a good choice, and if you come at the right time of year, Deschutes River offers some magnificent whitewater.
