Briefly about
the general area:
Whohoo, so much enjoyable stuff in one place! Deception Way is great! Weeping Rock Campground is a good campground nearby, and if you wish for a little side journey, try Dark Canyon. If you came for an overnight stay River View RV Park is a good place to camp,
and Illahee Flats is a delightful spot.
Just can't get enough of the Central Cascade Range. Looking for some flowing water? Try Deception Creek, and close by you stumble on Charcoal Point. There's whitewater on Steamboat Creek for all you adrenaline people, and some of the
water nearby flows, like Dry Gulch Creek.
And that's not all there is to do here in the Central Cascade Range. There are some pleasant whitewater spots on Copland Creek; everybody loves Little Oak Flat.
