     All year is a brilliant time in the Northern Cascade Range if you like the outdoors. An afternoon playing golf at Carson Mineral Hot Springs-Carson WA Golf Course is always a delight, and you're most likely keen on lakes, Green Lake is one of those close by. So much amusing stuff to do here in the Northern Cascade Range, too fine to be true. The Ridge Trail is a great hiking trail near Sheep Lakes, and you'll meet a lot of people from Hood River here.

Having a splendid time at Sheep Lakes is trouble-free. Get yourself into a kayak and hit Panther Creek, and on a brilliant day you can take a hike along the East Crater Trail. This lake is so wonderful. A wonderful nearby hotel is Skamania Lodge, and Forlorn Lakes Campground is a good campground nearby. Sheep Lakes is a reasonably wet place regularly with a lot of rain; the wettest month of the year is regularly December, that's the one that rains the most, and July is when it's the driest.
The Northern Cascade Range scenery is always beautiful. This lake is so wonderful. Here at Sheep Lakes you can catch a sight of Red Mountain, and nearby you hit upon the Cedar Creek Trail which is a great hiking trail.

Little Ashes Lake
14 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....

Kidney Lake

It's nice....

Cooper Spur

Very cozy little ski hill, great place for beginners....
