The lake was a little more than 5 acres. There was little signs of people and almost no litter at all. Says Sparkle Bear Any time is a great time at Hempel Lake if you have a thing about the outdoors. If you want to take a ride on a horse Skyland Ranch is in the vicinity. Now, you may think that's plenty but there's     even more entertaining stuff to do here in the Northern Cascade Range. A fine nearby hotel is BEST WESTERN Sky Valley Inn, and hiking is a popular thing to do around Hempel Lake; Finney Peak Trail is a splendid local trail.            Map Detailed Map Weather Local weather forecast
