North Cascades Lodge Summer Recreation

You can stroll along our trails to enjoy quiet cedar groves and isolated river frontage on the Methow River. On a hot day, you can cool off with a splash in the beaver ponds and fish in our stocked trout pond. We are just minutes from major trailheads into the Pasayten Wilderness, the North Cascades National Park, the Pacific Crest Trail and more.
