This lake is so wonderful. Dry warm beds await you at Best Western Columbia River Inn, and if you're dropping

Don't leave Sheep Lakes without first going for a hike along the East Crater Trail, and you'll locate a wonderful lake called Race Track Lakes. You just can't envision the amount of outdoors entertaining stuff the Northern
 
               Cascade Range has to offer. A magnificent panorama of striking Red Mountain is available from Sheep Lakes, and Carson Mineral Hot Springs-Carson WA Golf Course is a glorious golf course nearby. High temperatures at Sheep Lakes through the summer months are in the 70's, and the overnight is quite cooler of course, generally in the 50's. High temperatures during the winter are normally in the 40's, and night lows during the wintertime for Sheep Lakes tend to be in the 30's.
Whohoo, so many cool things in one place! The Northern Cascade Range is so good! Camping at Cultus Creek Campground is always a great experience; the Cedar Creek Trail offers hiking at its best. This is no location for people who don’t like to have a good time. There's good hiking along the Ridge Trail, and lakes are such serene spots, why not take a look at Green Lake.

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
16 miles away
It's nice....
