Custom Search     Tucquala Lake     Does any one know the conditon of the road from Salmon Lasack to Tucquala lk? You have to cross Scatter creek and with this snow melt we are wondering?? We are looking to go 4th of July? 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. Says Daniel Mount Take a side trip to Scatter Creek. There's so     much to do here at Tucquala Lake that you need to camp here for a while, Scatter Creek Campground is a pleasant location for that. 2,568 feet is the difference between top and bottom of nearby Lake Michael Trail.   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. - Ben BIGGER SIZE PICTURE HERE          Map Detailed Map Weather Local weather forecast
