Briefly about the general area: And that's not all there is to do here in the Northern Cascade Range. If you came to camp Longmile Meadows Campground is a wonderful spot to do that, and some of the water nearby flows, like Lookout Creek. Whitewater paddling is
not for everybody but if it's for you then we recommend Little Naches River; you might also want to pay a visit to Windy Pass if you're here at Little Creek Basin Trail.

Nelson Creek is a good local stream.
