User input for Tucquala Lake, Northern Cascade Range, Kittitas County, Washington:
Ben: 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.

Daniel Mount: This beautiful lake is really more of a bump in the upper CleElum River. the valley and meadows is a nice day trip from Seattle. Though I've seen trout in the river I don't see many being caught.

| | here for a while, Fish Lake Campground is a splendid place for that, and you can go for a hike on the Davis Peak Lookout Trail. All the water falling down from the sky makes Tucquala Lake a wet site; January is the month that gets the most snow, and July is when it's the driest. And if that's not enough, there's a lot more to do in close proximity to Tucquala Lake. If you're here, you might as well explore Paddy-Go-Easy Pass, and Stewart Lodge is a nice spot | |

to get some rest. This lake is so wonderful. Get your heart beating on the tremendous whitewater of Cle Elum River, and there are other sites here than Tucquala Lake, for example Carrie Lake. Whohoo, so much cool stuff in one
place! The Northern Cascade Range is excellent! A great place for whitewater paddling near Tucquala Lake is Waptus River, and there are pleasant locations to explore along the Lake Michael Trail. Here at Tucquala Lake you can see
Goat Mountain, and you can stay the night at Scatter Creek Campground. A fine nearby hotel is Suncadia Resort; getting to Scatter Creek from Tucquala Lake is trouble-free. Now, you may believe that's plenty but there's even more
cool things to do here in the Northern Cascade Range. A day on the slopes of Snoqualmie is just what you need, and magnificent hiking is available along the Jolly Mountain Lookout Trail.
