     This lake is so wonderful. There's just no way anyone can get bored here at Lake Kawkawak. Camping is available at East Side Buck Creek Campground, and at Lake Kawkawak you can catch a glimpse of Hurricane Peak. Life's too short to enjoy all the exciting things in the Northern Cascade Range. Whitewater paddling is tremendous on Suiattle River, and you can never get enough of the good skiing at Stephens Pass.
So many enjoyable things in the Northern Cascade
 
   Range, just incredible. Horse Creek is a fine spot to stop at. Lakes are pleasant; Lake Toketie is a lake that's in the neighborhood of Lake Kawkawak. Why not camp at Downey Creek Campground since you're here at Lake Kawkawak, and don't leave Lake Kawkawak without first going for a hike along the Meadow Mountain Trail. During the summer, highs typically are in the 70's at Lake Kawkawak; during summer nights temperatures are in the 50's. Daytime highs during  
               the wintertime are in the 40's while Lake Kawkawak overnight low temperatures during the winter are in the 20's.
There's splendid hiking along the Camp Creek Ridge Trail, and since you might be in a lake visiting mood you can always stop at close by Lake Toketie. This lake is so wonderful. Get soaked paddling on Downey Creek, and hiking is a popular thing to do around Lake Kawkawak; Fire Creek Way is a great local trail. All the water falling down from the sky makes Lake Kawkawak a wet spot; of all the months in a year November is the one with the most rain; the driest month of the year is July.
This lake is one of the great places here in the Northern Cascade Range.

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....

Stevens has a wide diversity of trails and runs that suits every riding style. From beginner to expert and for those terrain park junkies Stevens has you covered. I think what's special about Stevens is you can find your own little part of the mountain which is all yours, I have 4-5 little runs that cross between trails and off-piste that are all mine. Also the snow is crazy good, powder almost all the time. My favorite runs are Orion, some tree skiing near wall street, and right above the power lines. Stevens also has some pretty sweet out of bounds stuff to so check it out...
