Briefly about the general area:
Life's too short to enjoy all the exciting things in the Central Cascade Range. If you come at the right time of year, Deschutes River offers some wonderful whitewater. There's some flowing water close by, Deer Creek is a stream you can explore during your stay, and since you're here, you might as well explore Corral Draw.
Snowshoe Lake Trail beyond doubt is in the middle of a wonderful outdoors paradise. Stay the night at Upper Campground, and let's not forget Charlton Creek which is a stream that you may encounter during your stay. Don't leave Snowshoe Lake Trail without first paying a visit to Wright Spring, and everybody loves Reserve Meadow. All year is a great time in the Central Cascade Range if you adore the outdoors. It's always nice to take a look at Benz Spring, and whitewater paddling is not for everybody but if it's for you then, we recommend Horse Creek.
Snowshoe Lake Trail is a perfect location to visit for more than one day, East Lake Resort and RV Parks is a perfect location to camp nearby, and Mink Lake Basin is a good spot here at Snowshoe Lake Trail.
