     The beauty of Merlin Lake attracts many people from all around. Stay the night at Commonwealth Campground, and float down the rapids of Snoqualmie River - Middle Fork in a kayak. Life's too short to enjoy all the fun things in the vicinity of Merlin Lake. There are great places to explore along the Pratt Lake Trail, naturally you could also visit Myrtle Lake since you're here; it's not far at all. If you like skiing, you're in luck; Snoqualmie is close to Merlin  
   Lake; nearby you come across the Middle Fork Trail which is a nice hiking trail.
And if that's not sufficient there's heaps more entertaining things to do in the Northern Cascade Range. The snow is pleasant at Alpental, and going for a hike on the Annette Lake Trail is always a nice adventure. This lake is so wonderful. There's so much to do here at Merlin Lake that you need to camp here for a while, West Fork Campground is a wonderful location for that, and
 
               get yourself into a kayak and hit Dingford Creek. Merlin Lake is located in the Northern Cascade Range.
Now, you may assume that's a load but there's even more amusing stuff to do here in the Northern Cascade Range. A lake nearby is Nimue Lake. Merlin Lake typically gets a large amount of precipitation; the wettest month of the year is typically December, that's the one that rains the most, and July is when it's the driest.

Alpental
Really good gets tons of snow but almost always wet has some very steep runs which are great and has some cliffs that are my size and some so i can learn...

Snoqualmie
3 PHOTOS
From the steep and deep to the high-speed buffed-out cruisers, from our gentle learning areas to our benchmark parks and pipe, diversity is a way of life around here. With four unique base areas and less than an hour from Seattle on Interstate 90, no other resort in the country offers so much variety with this much convenience. Consider it a buffet for the outdoor enthusiast!
For the third year in a row, we stayed open longer than any other resort in the state, this season through Memorial Day. What can we say? We love spring skiing as much as you do!
So if you're looking for a true escape this winter, look no further than The Summit.
Just around the corner...

Bonnie Lake
Bonney lake Is not trained. It is drained in the winter, who ever runs the dam doesn't man it in winter so they let it drain. There was talk that they would not fill it any more....Just heard that Bonnie Lake is drained in the winter and then refilled in the Spring. Can you tell me why?...

Stephens Pass
1 PHOTO
Stevens has a wide diversity of trails and runs that suits every riding style. From beginner to expert and for those terrain park junkies Stevens has you covered. I think what's special about Stevens is you can find your own little part of the mountain which is all yours, I have 4-5 little runs that cross between trails and off-piste that are all mine. Also the snow is crazy good, powder almost all the time. My favorite runs are Orion, some tree skiing near wall street, and right above the power lines. Stevens also has some pretty sweet out of bounds stuff to so check it out...

Honey Lake
12 miles away
The lake no longer has any trails to it. All trails are gone from nature reclaiming it. The only way into lake is through quartz creek road(no vehicles)2.5 miles. From there it is a bushwack up to the ridge(2000 ft). From the ridge you can see honey lake. 1000 feet down. The bush is thick in that area (45 degree angle going up and down(or it seem that steep). 15 years ago some guys fished out the lake in one day. Before tha the fish were between 18 to 24 inches rainbow. If you can make it you deserve the good fishing. Haven't fished there in 20 years it may not have any fish in it or it has big fish (I dont know never made it close enough recently to fish). Good luck. ...
