If you want a fine time in the great outdoors just come on up to the Northern Cascade Range.

Nisqually River
| ...as about 13 years old (27 now). The thing you should know about the Nisqually is that it is like most rivers, every year there is something new and unexpected. There are a few notable obstacles and log jams that have stuck over the past ten years or so. One of them is between McKenna and the Nisqually railroad trestle. It has been there as long as I can remember. But the river isn't too fast there and you should have plenty of time to get outta the way. The other problems are further down the river, the log jams that are past the Nisqually pines aren't too bad. Most of them are so far up on the river bank that only a few trees hang into the river ( not to say that there are none of them.) But the problem is that you raft right under the cliffs on FT. Lewis. They seem to like to throw cars off the cliffs and watch them hit the water.. Or this is a good way to dispose of stolen cars.. Because the water just churns and turns these cars into a spiky nightmare for the rafters and tubers of the Nisqually. I have yet to see one person go over the cars and not instantly blow there raft apart... |
Harts Lake

Harts Lake is Washington's hidden treasure. Nestled in the foothills of Bald Hill Mountains, it is a getaway to beat all getaways. There's a small town nearby with all the amenities you'd need without the crush of a large city. Mostly enjoyed by fishermen, this lake is the most relaxing, beautiful place on earth. Water sports are enjoyed by a pleasant few - whatever you look for in a lake you'll find it at Harts!...Visit Wilcox Farms Organic Dairy and Poultry Farm. Wilcox is a family owned company since 1909 sitting at the base of Mt. Rainier in at beautiful Harts Lake.... |
