     This lake is so wonderful. If you need a location to stay Best Western Icicle Inn is a fine choice. This place rocks, just check out all the cool things to do in the neighborhood of King Lake. Buck Creek flows through this region, and if you came for an overnight stay Phelps Creek Campground is a great spot to camp. King Lake is right by the Pacific Crest Trail - section 26, and there are some good whitewater spots on Lake Creek.
Yeah, come up here to the
 
   Northern Cascade Range for a great time. If you come at the right time of year, Little Wenatchee River offers some magnificent whitewater; Massie Lake is a great lake nearby. King Lake is a wet place that gets much precipitation; the month of November is the wettest with most of the rain, and July is the month with the least moisture. This lake is so wonderful. Alpine Meadows Campground is a splendid local campground, and hiking along the Park Creek Trail  
               is glorious fun.
King Lake is a beautiful lake in the Northern Cascade Range. You get a nice view of Buck Mountain from King Lake, and do take a hike on the Miners Creek Trail. For the period of the days of summer at King Lake temperatures are generally in the 70's. Throughout the dark hours of summer temperatures descend down into the 50's. All through the winter highs are in the 30's, and nighttime lows all through the winter for King Lake tend to be in the 20's.
All the outdoors fun things in the Northern Cascade Range will keep you coming back over and over. A pretty lake like Lyman Lake near King Lake is a good location to go to, and there's a perfect forest called Lake Wenatchee Ranger District.

Napeequa Crossing Campground
Well, most of the information in this little blurb is wrong: The nearest Metro area is not Ellensburg, it is Leavenworth. Lake Elsley? I have never heard of it, and have been in the area for 30 years. There is no such place called Indian Ponds anywhere around the campground. Though a beautiful hike, Napeequa Crossing to Twin Lakes is not an easy stroll, it is approximately 3.2+ miles one way, with many switchbacks, and to the average city person, a hard slog. This Article makes it sound like White river falls are on the way to Twin Lakes, which they are not. They are reached by driving on up the valley 5 more miles or so to the correct turnout. Also, it should be mentioned that from the beginning of camping season till Mid August, you should slather yourself in Bug repellant to keep from being eaten alive by Mosquitoes. The campground is located on the confluence of the White and Napeequa Rivers, which flow into Lake Wenatchee....
