Recreation
Castle Lake, located near the base of Mount St. Helens is only available
by hiking to its sparkling waters. This volcanic lake has become one of the
premiere bass lakes in the world.

Coldwater Lake takes only electric-powered or row boats. Trout and
bass will tease your lines and fill your stringer. Permits are required for
both Castle and Coldwater lakes.

Horseback Riding is available in Packwood at the Little Cayuse Ranch.
Bob and Sheryl Baker feature Peruvian Pasos and Arabians for rent
(ages 16 and up). They’ll lead you on a trail ride along the Cowlitz River
near the foot of Mount Rainier. Scenery is spectacular and the Paso’s
gaited ride is wonderfully smooth. If you love horses and a wonderful ride,
this is the place for you.
