Briefly about the general area:
A tour to Corral Draw is always fun, and Park Trail is tremendous
enough to spend more than a day at, Upper Campground is a tremendous local campground. That right there is a load of fun stuff already but it goes on, the Central Cascade Range has it all.
Everybody loves Island Meadow, and the beauty of mother nature reveals herself at Honey
Creek Falls. This river is so perfect. Mink Lake Basin is right here at Park Trail; why not take a little spree to James Creek if you're here. But wait, there's more to do close to Park Trail. A trip to Park Trail wouldn't be complete without taking a look at Wright Spring. There's
so much to do here at Park Trail that you need to camp here for a while, East Lake Resort and RV Parks is a fine site for that.
Be careful coming to the Central Cascade Range, you might not ever want to go back home again. Drift down the rapids of Horse Creek in a kayak, and Sphinx Creek is near Park Trail and is always a bliss to pop by.
