     This is a splendid neighborhood for folks who like lakes. Southwick Lake is a lake in close proximity. There's so much to do here at Hicks Lake that you need to camp here for a while, Nisqually Plaza RV Park is a good spot for that. A magnificent place like Little Chambers Prairie here at Hicks Lake is too tremendous to miss, and the nice people of Olympia like to hang out nearby. If you need a location to stay Super 8 Lacey Olympia Area is a great choice, and  
   if you're a golfer then a tremendous close by course is The Golf Club at Hawks Prairie. And if that's not sufficient, there's loads more to do close to Hicks Lake. Paddling on Nisqually River is so much fun, and probably you're looking for close by lakes? Sure, Goose Pond is just a very short distance away.
All the water falling down from the sky makes Hicks Lake a wet place; the month of December is the wettest with most of the rain, and July on the other hand
 
               is the driest. Deschutes River has a good whitewater paddling spot nearby. The warmest time of the year at Hicks Lake comes with high temperatures in the 70's. Once the sun is down it descends down to the 50's. The cold days of the wintertime come with highs in the 40's with winter lows in the 30's overnight here at Hicks Lake.
This lake is so wonderful. Dry warm beds await you at Comfort Inn Lacey. You'll need more than a day to look at everything Hicks Lake has to offer, you can camp at Martin way Mobile Home Park.

Nisqually River
16 miles away
...bout 13 years old (27 now). The thing you should know about the Nisqually is that it is like most rivers, every year there is something new and unexpected. There are a few notable obstacles and log jams that have stuck over the past ten years or so. One of them is between McKenna and the Nisqually railroad trestle. It has been there as long as I can remember. But the river isn't too fast there and you should have plenty of time to get outta the way. The other problems are further down the river, the log jams that are past the Nisqually pines aren't too bad. Most of them are so far up on the river bank that only a few trees hang into the river ( not to say that there are none of them.) But the problem is that you raft right under the cliffs on FT. Lewis. They seem to like to throw cars off the cliffs and watch them hit the water.. Or this is a good way to dispose of stolen cars.. Because the water just churns and turns these cars into a spiky nightmare for the rafters and tubers of the Nisqually. I have yet to see one person go over the cars and not instantly blow there raft apart.. J...
