This lake is so wonderful. A beautiful lake like Lake Ann next to Spirit Lake is a magnificent location to pop by; there is a great hiking trail nearby called the Jolly Mountain Lookout Trail. After a long day outdoors Suncadia Resort is a great site to spend a night or two, and Icicle Creek is a good whitewater spot nearby. All the outdoors enjoyable stuff in the Northern Cascade Range will keep you coming back persistently. There's so much to do here at Spirit

| | Lake that you need to camp here for a while, De Roux Campground is a great location for that; a pleasant sight of stunning Ingalls Peak is available. There's some flowing water close by, Solomon Creek is a stream you can pop by while here, and you can go for a hike on the Lake Michael Trail. Spirit Lake truly is in the middle of a pretty outdoors paradise. If you need a place to stay Stewart Lodge is a tremendous choice, and if you don’t have a problem getting | |

covered with water, you can always go whitewater paddling on Cle Elum River. The Northern Cascade Range scenery is always beautiful. This lake is so wonderful. A visit to Van Epps Pass is always fun; Spirit Lake is splendid enough
to spend more than a day at, Trout Lake Campground is a splendid local campground. All the water falling down from the sky makes Spirit Lake a wet place; the wettest month of the year is frequently January, that's the one that snows
the most; the driest month is July. High temperatures at Spirit Lake all through the summer months are in the 60's. For the period of the dark hours of summer temperatures drop down into the 40's. Daytime highs during the wintertime
are in the 20's, and night lows during the wintertime for Spirit Lake tend to be in the 10's. Not enough hours in a day to enjoy the Northern Cascade Range. Do check out Lake Camp Fire Girls close to Spirit Lake, it's a pretty lake; going for a hike on the Davis Peak Lookout Trail is always a great adventure.

Tucquala Lake
 | 1 PHOTO This ''Lake'' Is Beautiful. It really isn't a lake at all, in the summer it is a widening of the river. Very slow moving river, more like a slough, it is very clean, clear, and cold, mountain runoff. The fishing is excellent from a small boat or float tube, although the current can be somewhat strong. I fly fished, using a #14 Adams, and caught 11 rainbow and cutthroat trout between 6 & 11'', in the early to mid evening. This was in July of 2008. Camping was good, small sites along the main road. Keep your food in the cars though as Bears are definitely out.... |
Fish Lake Campground
 | Watch for grizzly. Esp. early spring and fall.... |
Davis Peak Lookout Trail
 | I hated hiking it but the things I saw were amazing!!!!!... |
Wish Poosh Campground
 | 13 miles away We overnighted at this campsite a couple of weekends ago. The camp hosts were wonderful, they were informative and kept the grounds and the bathrooms spic-n-span clean. They were always in their golf cart putting around taking care of this or that. They scolded us for staying the night in a place we weren't supposed to, and I felt bad about that because I knew we shouldn't have stayed there but my partner insisted and it was his birthday. I knew they were just keeping order at the campground they were in charge of, and I appreciated that. Keep up the good work!... |
Miller Peak Trail
 | 15 miles away The Longitude is 130 45 54 16. And Leaven worth is at least 30 miles away by auto.... |
Toketie Lake
 | 15 miles away I liked the little lake. I went straight up the canyon side from the last place the Snow Lakes trail comes near the creek, a little above the gully that comes down from Toketie. There is a puzzle at the top where the gully turns south 1/4 M from the lake. I climbed a small cliff there, could find no other way. The lake was pretty. Total distance about 3 miles one way....This is hystericcal. <.....> The short route is 7 or so miles and a 4000ft+ of elevation gain on a ''trail'' that is a more of a climbers path that most climbers avoid. Rat Creek is a season creek that drops 6000ft in 2 miles though loose overgrown terrain. The area is incredibly beutiful but take my advice and stay on maintained trails unless you know what your doing.... |
Tumwater Campground
 | 18 miles away Tumwater is my favorite campground. I have been to so many because I am a WA native. There are many sites that sit on the river or creek. The grounds are beautiful and plenty close to Leavenworth.... |
Lake Wenatchee Campground
 | 19 miles away 1 PHOTO The closest place to stay around Lake Wenatchee is The Dirty face Lodge.? 10 Bedrooms+ and lots for room for huge families.? Great hiking up Dirty Face and surrounding areas.... |
Stephens Pass
 | 25 miles away 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... |
