     This lake is so wonderful. While you're here at King Lake, you could also check out gorgeous Upper Jordan Lake, and you can stay the night at Cascade Islands Campground II. Be careful coming to the Northern Cascade Range, you might not ever want to return home again. Whitewater paddling is not for everybody but if it's for you then we recommend Cascade River, and Howard Johnson Snoqualmie/Summit is a splendid spot to get some rest. The warmest time of the year  
   brings highs in the 70's to King Lake. 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, and winter nights come with lows in the 30's to King Lake.
That right there is lots of amusing stuff already but it goes on, the Northern Cascade Range has it all. King Lake commonly gets a great deal of rain; all through the month of November you get the most rain around here while July is mostly the driest
 
               month. Do go to Slide Lake close to King Lake, it's a charming lake; a good panorama of stunning Mount Chaval is available.
The Northern Cascade Range scenery is always beautiful. Any time is a fine time at King Lake if you go for the outdoors. On a pleasant day at King Lake you can take a hike along the Sulphur Mountain Way, and since you're here you can take a hike along the Meadow Mountain Trail. Going for a hike along the Hidden Lake Trail will let you absorb the natural beauty of this area; King Lake is a fine location to visit for more than one day, East Side Buck Creek Campground is a fine location to camp nearby.

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....
