In the Open — The National Forests of Washington 



Forty 



accommodations and gas may be had at Snoqualmie Pass and at various resorts 

 on Lake Keechelus. 



Excellent camp grounds have been constructed by the Forest Service at Denny 

 Creek, 20 miles east of North Bend, and are open to the public without charge. 



Running water has been piped 

 . through the grounds, and 



tables, stoves, parking space 

 j for automobiles, and other con- 

 veniences provided. To reach 

 Snow Lake from this point one 

 travels 2K miles by road and 

 5 miles by trail; also a trail 

 leads up Denny Creek for 2 

 miles to Snowshoe Falls, and 

 another up the main river i^ 

 miles to Franklin Falls. The 

 trail to Pratt Lake and the 

 Middle Fork leaves the Sunset 

 Highway 2 miles west of the 

 camp grounds, and climbs the 

 mountain on an easy grade to 

 Pratt Lake, a total distance of 

 8 miles. From^ this point it 

 continues down Pratt River to 

 the Halfway Plouse, 17.2 miles 

 from Denny Creek, and to 

 North Bend, a total distance of 

 32.4 miles. A iire-lookout sta- 

 tion on the summit of Granite 

 Mountain is 5 miles from Denny Creek Camp Grounds, over a branch leading 

 off the Pratt River trail. The South Fork of the Snoqualmie has recently 

 been stocked and is closed to fishing. However, Snow Lake was stocked several 

 years ago, and limit catches are common there. Bear hunting is excellent on 

 Granite Mountain and along Humpback Creek, and grouse are also plentiful.
