For the period of the summer months at Lake LaCrosse highs are usually in the 70's, and throughout the night it cools down to the 50's. Highs during the wintertime are frequently in the 40's while Lake LaCrosse night low temperatures all through the winter are in the 30's.
A brilliant place to camp here at Lake LaCrosse is
 
   Staircase Campground; there's no such thing as a bad day of skiing at close by Hurricane Ridge Ski Lodge. This place, Lake LaCrosse, it clearly has so much outdoors amusing stuff. Paddling on Skokomish River - North Fork is so much fun, and since you might be in a lake visiting mood you can always pop by close by Buck Lake. This lake is so wonderful. Mount Duckabush is simple to spot from Lake LaCrosse, and going for a hike on the Baldy Trail is always a perfect  
               adventure.
These mountains rock, just explore all the cool stuff to do in the Olympic Mountains. A tour to O'Neil Pass is always fun. Lakes are great; Hart Lake is a lake that's near Lake LaCrosse. Looking for some flowing water? Try Anderson Creek, and close by you stumble on the Elwha River Trail which is a delightful hiking trail. Lake LaCrosse gets a lot of water; the month with most of the rain is December while July is ordinarily the driest month.
If you want a nice time in the great outdoors just come on up to the Olympic Mountains. Why not camp at Brown Creek Campground if you're here at Lake LaCrosse; you can go for a hike on the Royal Creek Trail.

Upper Elk Lake
15 miles away
It's been about 6yrs. since I was last at upper Elk Lake,It was my most favorite place to camp. If you were lucky, and got the only camp site on the lake,the lake was yours. The water was so crystal clear, you could almost see the bottom. The fishing was't bad either. There are plenty of trails and creeks to explore.Including Jefferson creek, which will lead you to lower Elk Lake. My children loved this spot as much as I. There was also a rope swing on the other side of the lake.It was heaven. My youngest daughter traveled back to the lake this summer (2008). She says the lake is destroyed, with water plants and logs,she says the water is no longer clear. This makes me sad, I may just have to plan a trip to see for myself....
