All the water falling down from the sky makes Hamar Lake a wet site; of all the months in a year December is the one with the most rain; the driest month is July. Whitewater paddling is not for everyone but if it's for you then we recommend Cascade River; there is a brilliant hiking trail nearby called the Hidden Lake Trail. This lake is so wonderful. Hamar Lake is a nice place to visit for more than one day, East Side Buck Creek Campground is a nice place

Cascade River
 | Did this section July 21, 2007 in a tandem canoe, at about 1850. Had never done this section before. The description above seems accurate. Several large log jams, some completely blocking the river, forcing us to take some long and rough portages through thick brush and over huge piles of logs. Even when the river is not blocked, there are serious strainers at every bend. You really have to be alert to avoid them. A lot of work and danger for the few fun class II rapids you get within the first mile or so. We spent nearly three hours on portages and scouting and only about one hour actually on the water. Not recommended.... |
