    Rainy Lake is a very beautiful lake in beautiful surroundings. This lake is one of the great places here in the Northern Cascade Range. Whohoo, so many entertaining things in one place! The Northern Cascade Range is so good! The skiing at Snoqualmie is wonderful, and West Fork Campground is a great campground nearby. The high level of rainfall makes Rainy Lake a reasonably wet location; during December this area sees the most rain, and the driest month of  
   the year is July.
During the summertime months highs here at Rainy Lake reach the 70's. Once the sun is down it descends down to the 50's. All through the wintertime the highs are usually in the 40's, and overnight lows at Rainy Lake through the winter regularly sink into the 30's. This lake is so wonderful. Rainy Lake is right by the Mount Defiance Trail; in the event that you don’t have a problem getting covered with water, you can always go whitewater
 
               paddling on Pratt River. So much cool stuff to do at Rainy Lake, so little time. If you like skiing, you're in luck; Alpental is next to Rainy Lake, and if you came for an overnight stay Commonwealth Campground is a nice place to camp.
Take a hike on the Pratt Lake Trail, and perhaps you're looking for close by lakes? Sure, Mowitch Lake is just a very short distance away. Now, you may think that's a heap but there's even more cool stuff to do here in the Northern Cascade Range. You could also check out Kaleetan Lake while you're here at Rainy Lake; it's nearby, and Taylor River has a great whitewater paddling spot nearby. This lake is so wonderful. Take a little tour to Rainy Creek if you're here at Rainy Lake, and if you need a place to stay Salish Lodge And Spa is a wonderful choice.
From Rainy Lake you get a perfect panorama of Preacher Mountain, and you can have a delightful hiking adventure along the Annette Lake Trail.
