     Martin Lake is a brilliant place to visit for more than one day, Timberlake Campground is a brilliant place to camp nearby, and you can never get enough of the splendid skiing at Cooper Spur. That right there is a load already, but it continues; Martin Lake has it all. Take a hike on the Brush Creek Trail; Rodeway Inn Stevenson is a pleasant location to get some rest. This lake is so wonderful. You could also go to Long Lake while you're here at Martin Lake;  
   it's close by; get your heart beating on the tremendous whitewater of Hood River - West Fork.
Martin Lake is not the only location close by, Hidden Lake is a close by lake, and a visit to Collins Point is always a delightful idea. This is no spot for people who don’t like to have a good time. The Pacific Crest Trail - section 23 offers hiking at its best, and the view of wonderful Shellrock Mountain is good. During the summer months highs here at Martin Lake
 
               get into the 70's, and throughout summer nights temperatures are in the 50's. The cold days of the wintertime come with highs in the 40's, and after the sun is down through the winter temperatures at Martin Lake plunge into the 30's.
Man, is there lots of amusing things to do in the Central Cascade Range. There's whitewater on Little White Salmon River for all you adrenaline junkies. You'll need more than a day to explore everything Martin Lake has to offer, you can camp at Wind Mountain Resort. A good deal of rainfall falls at Martin Lake; of all the months in a year December is the one with the most rain; the driest month is July. This lake is one of the great places here in the Central Cascade Range.
So much cool stuff to do here in the Central Cascade Range, too pleasant to be true. Really brilliant skiing awaits you at Mt. Hood Meadows, and Martin Lake is right by the Wyeth Trail. All year is a good time in the Central Cascade Range if you have a thing about the outdoors. You'll meet a lot of people from Hood River here, and Berge Reservoir Dam has tremendous water scenery.
This lake is so wonderful. Some nearby water includes Lindsey Creek, and dry warm beds await you at Columbia Gorge Motel.

Pacific Crest Trail - section 23
Roundtrip Distance 16 miles
Elevation Gain 2,620 ft.
This peak is trailless, meaning a portion or all of the route up the mountain is via an unmarked trail. For this particular mountain, the typical route is known as a ''herd path'' which is not much more than a worn, but unmarked trail. Some of the herd paths are easy to follow, others are not. In many instances the hiker will travel down a false herd path and eventually have to correct his/her course via backtracking. For these particular mountains, it is imperative that the hiker carry a compass (and know how to use it) and topographic map....

Herman Creek Trail
The Herman Creek Trail was constructed for foot access to the old site of a wartime lookout built to spot ballon bomb sent over by Japan. There were three cabins just past the cliff road and the end of the Herman Creek cut-off trail which statrted at seven and a half mile camp in what was once Cedder Swamp just below Mud Lake....

Little Ashes Lake
12 miles away
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....
