               folks. Skamania Lodge is a delightful site to get some rest; a quick tour to McCord Creek is without doubt a perfect idea.

Sure, Carpenters Lake is in the neighborhood.
Why not take a look at Woodard Dam while you're here, and you can go for a hike on the Tanner Butte Trail. So many enjoyable things in the Northern Cascade Range, just phenomenal. A good place for whitewater paddling close to Ridell Lake is Rock Creek - Columbia River Tributary, and why not spend some time golfing at a close by golf course like Beacon Rock Golf Course.

This lake is so wonderful. Don't leave Ridell Lake without first paying a visit to Hardy Falls. There's so much to do here at Ridell Lake that you need to camp here for a while, Lewis and Clark RV Park is a great spot for that. And that's not everything there is to do here in the Northern Cascade Range. There are glorious places to look at along the Tanner Cutoff Trail, and Wahclella Natural Park is right here at Ridell Lake.
The high level of rainfall makes Ridell Lake a quite wet site; of all the months in a year December is the one with the most rain, and July meanwhile is the driest month.

Little Ashes Lake
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....

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....
