    A visit to Kidney Lake is always a good idea. This lake is so wonderful. In case you don’t have a problem getting dripping wet, you can always go whitewater paddling on Trout Creek, and Kidney Lake is right by the Tanner Butte Trail. The high level of rainfall makes Kidney Lake a rather wet site; the month with most of the rain is December, and July is the month with the least moisture. That right there is heaps of fun stuff already but it goes on, the Northern  
   Cascade Range has it all.
Take a hike on the Rock Creek Trail, and there are other locations here than Kidney Lake, for example Butlers Pond. And that's not all you can do here at Kidney Lake. The Tanner Cutoff Trail offers hiking at its best, and from Kidney Lake you obtain a great view of Sacagawea and Papoose Rocks. Kidney Lake is located in the Northern Cascade Range.
Yeah, come up here to the Northern Cascade Range for a great time. If you're a golfer
 
               then a glorious nearby course is Beacon Rock Golf Course, and Bonneville Hot Springs Resort is a wonderful site to get some rest. Kidney Lake is in the vicinity of Bonneville Dam which is a striking place beyond doubt worth stopping at, and after a long day outdoors Skamania Lodge is a great spot to spend a night or two. A journey to nearby Wauna Point is very relaxing, and as expected Eagle Creek flows through this vicinity.
This lake is so wonderful. Don't leave Kidney Lake without first paying a visit to The (historical) Cascades. There's so much to do here at Kidney Lake that you need to camp here for a while, Lewis and Clark RV Park is a good site for that. Be careful coming to the Northern Cascade Range, you might not ever wanna return home again. A swamp like Greenleaf Slough near Kidney Lake has lots of out of the ordinary things to see, and Kidney Lake is delightful enough to spend more than a day at, Dolce Skamania Lodge is a delightful local campground. That right there is heaps already, but it goes on; Kidney Lake has it all. Rock Creek - Columbia River Tributary is a magnificent whitewater spot near Kidney Lake, and not far from Kidney Lake you'll come across Gillette Lake which is a lovely lake.
For the duration of the summertime months here at Kidney Lake, high temperatures mostly get into the 70's. For the period of the dark hours of summer temperatures descend down into the 50's. The winter comes with highs in the 40's with temperatures at Kidney Lake dipping down into the 30's throughout winter nights.

Little Ashes Lake
Since the previous post was negative, I was skeptical about fishing there. I sent a couple of hours fishing there at one of the few access spots to see how it fished. I was fortunate enough to land a trout about 27 inches long. Not to bad for a couple hours. Caught using a rooster tail spinner. Gotta give it a try....Little Ashes lake is a medium sized spillway from the Columbia River. There is not much public access to the lake. The lake is boundaried on the southwest side by Highway 14. and all the rest is Private property. No way to launch a boat, but I have float tubed it. There are no trails to hike around this lake. You won't want to swim in it since it is columbia river water. The fishing is unproductive as i fished it and never caught a single bass or trout, only sucker fish and perch. My advice is to just enjoy the sight of this lake, but venturing into it is a waste of time....

Wind River
Hello,

Anybody who puts-in where the road map link on the webpage indicates and expects to find class IV-V water is going to be disappointed. The put-in is on the right bank slightly downstream of where the map shows the take-out (basically, at Stabler) and the take-out is on the right bank a half-mile or so above High Bridge (where the red line crosses the river on the map).

Regards,
Will...
Hello,

I run this section of the Wind regularly and I have never heard anybody refer to it as Ranger Station Close to Stabler to High Bridge. It's common names are Stabler to High Bridge and the Upper Wind. The putin is much closer to Stabler than to the Ranger Station near Stabler (which is actually closer to the put-in on Trout Creek).

Regards,
Will...

Have you been to the Bighorn campground site???While this is a beautiful pack-in, primitive site, it doesn't fit with your description. Before camping, take a hike on Nat. Forest Trail 742, without gear. After you've scoped the area, come back and stay. Even on Labor Day Weekend ('06) there were several campsites available in this dispersed camp area....
